Japanese-Style Cabbage Salad

This Japanese-style cabbage salad is comparable to what is served in Japanese restaurants. It's vegan, tastes great, and goes well with Japanese and American food instead of coleslaw.

Ingredients

  • ½ large head cabbage, cored and shredded

  • 1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced

  • 1 cup almond slivers

  • ¼ cup toasted sesame seeds


Dressing:

  • 3 tablespoons sesame oil

  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar (Optional)

  • 1 clove garlic, minced (Optional)

  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root (Optional)

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

  1. Combine cabbage, green onions, almond, and sesame seeds in a large bowl.

  2. Make dressing: Whisk together sesame oil, vinegar, sugar, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved.

  3. Pour dressing over cabbage mixture and toss until well combined.
