This Easy Crunchy Asian Cabbage Slaw with Addictive Sesame Dressing is a vibrant and flavorful salad that’s perfect for a light and refreshing meal.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Slaw:

  • 2 cups Green cabbage, thinly shredded (about 1/2 medium head)
  • 1 cup Red cabbage, thinly shredded (about 1/4 medium head)
  • 1.5 cups Carrots, shredded (about 2 large carrots)
  • 4–5 pieces Scallions, thinly sliced (green and white parts)
  • 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • 0.25 cup Toasted sliced almonds or cashews

For the Dressing:

  • 0.25 cup Toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 clove Garlic, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 pinch Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Veggies: Thinly slice both cabbages and place them in a roomy mixing bowl. Shred the carrots, slice the scallions, and add them to the bowl along with cilantro if using.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl or jar, whisk together toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), toasted sesame seeds, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Toss and Marinate: Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture, toss well to coat, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to meld flavors and soften the cabbage slightly.
  4. Add Crunch: Just before serving, sprinkle with toasted sliced almonds or cashews for extra crunch.
  5. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed with salt, vinegar, or extra nuts.
