Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (shredded) Green cabbage
- 2 cups (shredded) Red cabbage
- 1 cup (shredded) Carrots
- 4 stalks (sliced thinly) Green onions
- 1 cup Sliced almonds
- 1 package (3 oz) Ramen noodles (uncooked, crushed)
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Shred the green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the thinly sliced green onions to the bowl.
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sliced almonds, crushed ramen noodles, and sesame seeds until golden and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Stir constantly to prevent burning. Remove from heat and let cool.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, rice vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
Just before serving, fold in the toasted almond, ramen noodle, and sesame seed mixture to retain their crunch.
Serve immediately as a side dish or chilled for a cooler option.
