Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cabbage (green or red, finely shredded)
- 1 large Carrot (grated)
- 1 medium Bell pepper (any color, thinly sliced)
- 1 small Cucumber (sliced into half-moons)
- 1 cup Chickpeas (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed)

- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey (or agave syrup for vegan alternative)
- 0.5 teaspoon Sesame oil (optional)
- 1 pinch Salt

Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables: finely shred the cabbage, grate the carrot, thinly slice the bell pepper, and slice the cucumber into half-moons.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, sliced bell pepper, cucumber, and chickpeas.
Prepare the dressing by whisking together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey (or agave), sesame oil (if using), a pinch of salt, and a pinch of pepper in a small bowl.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss thoroughly to coat everything evenly.
Divide the mixture into two bowls and top with a tablespoon of sunflower seeds on each for added crunch.
Serve immediately for maximum crunchiness, or chill in the fridge for 10-15 minutes if you prefer it cool. Enjoy your colorful and budget-friendly rainbow bowl!
