In a large bowl, combine the green cabbage, purple cabbage, broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, kale, radishes, and green onions.
In a small dry skillet over medium heat, lightly toast the slivered almonds until golden brown. This should take around 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let them cool.
