Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables. Shred the green cabbage, purple cabbage, and carrots, and thinly slice the green onions. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Toast the sliced almonds and sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until they are lightly browned and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a small bowl, prepare the dressing. Whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the toasted almonds, sesame seeds, and toasted ramen noodles to the bowl of vegetables.
