Description

A fresh and crunchy cabbage salad with sliced almonds and a tangy mustard vinaigrette.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sliced almonds
  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage (from about 1/2 head of green cabbage)
  • 2 cups shredded red cabbage (from about 1/4 head of red cabbage)
  • 1 cup grated carrots (from about 3 medium carrots)
  • 2 green onions, trimmed and chopped (both white and green parts)
  • 1 red bell pepper, cored and cut into thin sticks
  • 4 radishes, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh dill
  • to taste Kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon sumac
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sumac
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • to taste Black pepper

Instructions

  1. Toast the almonds. Coat a large pan with a thin layer of olive oil. Add the almonds and stir until they turn golden, about 8 minutes. Take off the heat and set aside.
  2. Make the Mustard Vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, lime juice, garlic, olive oil, sumac, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Make the salad. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cabbage, carrots, onions, red bell pepper, radishes, parsley, and dill. Season with a good pinch or two of salt and sumac. Add 3/4 of the toasted almonds. Toss gently to combine.
  4. Dress and refrigerate. Pour the vinaigrette all over and toss to combine. If you have the time, wrap in plastic and give the salad 30 minutes to 1 hour in your fridge for the flavors to meld and the cabbage to just slightly soften.
  5. Finish and serve. Give the salad one more toss and serve, garnished with the remaining almonds.

Notes

  • This salad is best served fresh, but can be made a few hours in advance.
  • Feel free to substitute other vegetables or add proteins like chicken or tofu for a heartier dish.
