Napa Cabbage Salad
1 large head Napa cabbage, washed and finely-chopped
7 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced (white and light green parts only)
2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into matchsticks
1 red pepper, seeded and cut into matchsticks
1/2 to 3/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
2 to 3 tablespoons sunflower seeds
1 to 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Tamari-Sesame Dressing
1/4 cup rice vinegar
3 1/2 tablespoons cold-pressed olive oil
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium tamari
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
Preparation:
In a large serving bowl, combine the cabbage, scallions, carrots, red pepper, and cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, olive oil, sesame oil, tamari, and pure maple syrup until emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the salad, thoroughly toss to coat, and sprinkle with the seeds.
Notes
This salad holds up well even a day or two after being tossed in the dressing thanks to the cabbage. Just keep it refrigerated in an airtight container for best results.
