Ingredients

Slaw:

3 cups (750 mL) shredded green cabbage
3 cups (750 mL) shredded red cabbage
3 green onions, sliced diagonally
1 large carrot, peeled and coarsely grated (about 1 cup)
1 tbsp (15 mL) sesame seeds, white or black, toasted

Dressing:

3 Tbsp (45 mL) rice vinegar
3 Tbsp (45 mL) canola oil
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 tsp (5 mL) grated fresh ginger
2 tsp (10 mL) sodium-reduced soy sauce
1 tsp (5 mL) sesame oil

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine both cabbages, onion, carrot and sesame seeds.
Prepare dressing by shaking together rice vinegar, canola oil, garlic, ginger, soy sauce and sesame oil.
Pour dressing over salad, toss and refrigerate before serving. Ideally, allow to stand in fridge for an hour or more to allow flavours to mellow. Re-toss before serving.
