6 large Carrots (shredded)
1/2 cup Green onion (finely chopped. Can use chives)
1/2 cup Cilantro (coriander) (finely chopped)
1 medium pepper(s) Red bell pepper (thinly sliced or chopped)

Instructions


Awesome Sauce:

ADD:

  • Sesame oil
  • Olive oil
  • Tamari
  • Lime juice
  • Almond butter
  • Maple syrup
  • Chili flakes
  • Water into blender or mix by hand and blend until evenly combined.

 

Asian Cabbage Slaw:

  • Add cabbage, carrots and green onions into a large bowl and mix until combined.
  • Add ½ c of awesome sauce and mix well to combine.
  • Top with cilantro, red pepper, sesame seed and almonds and an extra squeeze of lime.

Notes:

Quick Tip:

Try adding mandarin segments or sliced mango for a burst of added sweetness.

And, for a heartier meal, combine this salad with brown rice, buckwheat noodles or edamame.
 

For the emulsified/thicker sauce, add the water at the end while continuing to blend.

You’ll see it instantly starts to form a thicker and lighter-coloured mayo-like consistency. Fun!

Storage:
This sauce will keep well in the fridge, in an airtight container, for about 5 days.
