Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, and green onions in a large bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey or maple syrup, grated ginger, and minced garlic to make the dressing.
  3. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss well to coat all the vegetables evenly.
  4. Let the salad sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Just before serving, sprinkle the toasted almonds and sesame seeds over the salad. Toss once more lightly.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, add 1/2 cup of shelled edamame to the salad mix.
  • If you want a heartier meal, add 1 cup of cooked, shredded chicken or baked tofu.
  • This vinegar based coleslaw holds up well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days if you store the nuts and seeds separately.
