Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Green cabbage
- 2 cups Red cabbage
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 3 stalks Scallions
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Sugar substitute
Instructions
Thinly slice the green and red cabbage, aiming for uniform shreds. Place the cabbage in a large bowl.
Peel and julienne the carrot. Add it to the bowl with the cabbage.
Thinly slice the red bell pepper into matchstick-sized pieces and add to the bowl.
Slice the scallions thinly and add them to the bowl along with the chopped fresh cilantro.
In a small dry skillet, toast the sesame seeds over medium heat until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside to cool.
In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by mixing the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sugar substitute. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables. Toss everything together until the slaw is evenly coated with the dressing.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the top of the slaw and give it one final toss before serving.
Optionally, chill the slaw in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
