For the salad 3 cups green cabbage shredded 1 cup purple cabbage shredded 1 cup carrots shredded 3/4 cup bell peppers thinly sliced, red, yellow or a combination of colors 1/4 cup sliced green onions plus more for garnish if desired 1/4 cup cilantro leaves coarsely chopped, plus more for garnish if desired 1/2 cup sliced almonds toasted 2 teaspoons sesame seeds For the dressing 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1/4 cup rice vinegar 1/4 cup hoisin sauce 1 teaspoon honey 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1 teaspoon fresh ginger finely grated 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil salt and pepper to taste
Place the green cabbage, purple cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, green onions, cilantro and almonds in a large bowl.
Combine all dressing ingredients in a small bowl; whisk until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the slaw.
Garnish with additional green onions and cilantro if desired, then serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
You can use a box grater to shred your own carrots, or just buy a bag of pre-shredded carrots at the store.
I like to use a mix of both red and yellow bell peppers because it adds a lot of color.
I use a mandoline to shred my cabbages. If you want to skip this step, feel free to buy a bag of pre-shredded coleslaw mix instead.
