Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Carrots
- 1 cup (shredded) Red cabbage
- 2 stalks, thinly sliced Green onions
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon (grated) Fresh ginger

- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar

- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon (freshly squeezed) Lime juice

Instructions
Peel the carrots and julienne them into thin matchstick-sized pieces. Alternatively, use a spiralizer or grater for convenience.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the julienned carrots, shredded red cabbage, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together the grated ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the carrot and cabbage mixture. Toss well to evenly coat the vegetables with the dressing.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the slaw and give it a final gentle toss.
Serve immediately for maximum crunch, or let it chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Enjoy!
