Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (shredded) Green cabbage
- 2 cups (shredded) Purple cabbage
- 2 medium (peeled and julienned) Carrots
- 3 stalks (thinly sliced) Green onions
- 3 tablespoons (toasted) Sesame seeds
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon (grated) Fresh ginger
- 1 clove (minced) Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green and purple cabbage, julienned carrots, and sliced green onions.
In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds for 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture in the large mixing bowl.
Toss the coleslaw thoroughly to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the top and gently toss again to distribute them evenly.
Let the coleslaw rest in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a side dish or as a topping for sandwiches, burgers, or tacos.
