  • 3 cups red cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 3 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced

  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Add the sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, lime juice, and ginger to a small bowl and whisk well to combine.
  2. Add the red and green cabbage, red bell pepper, carrots, sugar snap peas, sliced almonds, green onions, sesame seeds, and chopped cilantro to a large bowl. Whisk the salad dressing one more time. Drizzle the salad with the dressing and toss to coat.

Notes

  • If you prefer, you can add all the contents of the Asian Dressing to a mason jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake it to combine.
  • You can prepare the dressing up to 3 days in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge and shake well before adding it to the salad.
  • Add snow peas, mandarin oranges, or shelled edamame.
  • Consider substituting cashews, peanuts, or slivered almonds for the sliced almonds.
  • This delicious Salad can be prepared up to a day in advance and stored in an airtight container in the fridge. But add the toasted sesame seeds and sliced almonds right before serving.
  • Try adding crispy chow mein noodles or crispy wonton strips.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
