Slaw
- 1/2 small head green cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup crystallized ginger, chopped
- 1/2 cup roasted cashews
- 1/2 serrano or jalapeño pepper, chopped
- 1/2 cup cilantro (optional)
- Ginger Dressing, to taste (recipe below) Ginger Dressing
- 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 1/2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 1/2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1/2 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1/2 scallion, chopped
- salt, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Add all dressing ingredients to a wide-mouthed mason jar and use an immersion blender (we use this one) to blend until creamy. Whisking by hand will work too, but be sure to very finely mince the scallions, ginger, and garlic in that case. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container until ready to use.
- Step 2: Combine all slaw ingredients in a large bowl. Toss the prepared dressing with the salad, to taste. If making ahead of time, add the cashews just before serving.
- Serve: Enjoy chilled or at room temperature. Add additional dressing as desired.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: 1/2 small head of cabbage should equal about 3.5 cups sliced.
