Description

A vibrant and crunchy slaw made with a medley of red cabbage, green cabbage, carrots, and scallions, tossed in a zesty sesame-ginger dressing.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups red cabbage, shredded
  • 2 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, shredded
  • 1/2 cup scallions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons tamari (or soy sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing your vegetables. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded red cabbage, green cabbage, carrots, and chopped scallions. Use your hands to gently toss them together, allowing the colors to mingle.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, tamari, minced ginger, minced garlic, and honey until smooth.
  3. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss everything to coat evenly, ensuring each piece of vegetable gleams with the dressing.
  4. Let the slaw sit for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
  5. Just before serving, sprinkle the slaw with sesame seeds and freshly chopped cilantro.

Notes
