    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the green cabbage, purple cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, green onions, cilantro and almonds in a large bowl.
  2. Combine all dressing ingredients in a small bowl; whisk until well combined.
  3. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the slaw.
  4. Garnish with additional green onions and cilantro if desired, then serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 4 hours.

Notes

  • You can use a box grater to shred your own carrots, or just buy a bag of pre-shredded carrots at the store.
  • I like to use a mix of both red and yellow bell peppers because it adds a lot of color. 
  • I use a mandoline to shred my cabbages. If you want to skip this step, feel free to buy a bag of pre-shredded coleslaw mix instead.
