Cabbage Salad
Description
The Cabbage Salad recipe combines a mix of shredded purple and green cabbage, thin red pepper strips, large chunks of mango and avocado, chopped green onion, fresh mint, basil, diced jalapeño, and chopped cashews or peanuts. The dressing is a blend of fresh lime juice, avocado or olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, and a small amount of sesame oil. Tossing these ingredients together coats the vegetables and fruit evenly with a tangy, slightly savory, and aromatic dressing.
The salad presents a variety of textures from crunchy cabbage and pepper, tender mango and avocado, and nutty cashews. The interplay of fresh herbs and mild heat from jalapeño rounds out the flavor. Garnished with sesame seeds, it serves well as a light side dish or a refreshing accompaniment to grilled or roasted meats.
