Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Green cabbage
- 2 cups Red cabbage
- 1 large Carrot
- 3 stalks Scallions
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Thinly slice the green cabbage and red cabbage, and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrot, then use a box grater or julienne peeler to shred it. Add the shredded carrot to the bowl with the cabbage.
Chop the scallions into thin slices, including both the white and green parts. Add them to the mixing bowl.
In a small skillet, toast the sesame seeds over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let them cool before adding to the salad.
In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together mayonnaise, rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables and toss thoroughly until all the vegetables are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the top and give it a final toss.
Refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve cold as a side dish or as a topping for sandwiches and burgers. Enjoy!
