Salad Ingredients:
- 12 oz. (5 cups) green cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 large carrot, grated
- 4 to 7 green onions (½ cup), sliced thin
- ½ cup sunflower seeds, toasted
- ½ cup slivered almonds, toasted
- 2 Tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
Orange-Tahini Dressing Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup orange juice
- 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup (+/-) *
- 2 teaspoons reduced-sodium tamari *
- 1 Tablespoon + 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons tahini
- 2 Tablespoons distilled white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon ginger powder (+/-) *
- Pinch to 1 teaspoon sea salt (+/-) *
Instructions
- Place all the Orange-Tahini Dressing Ingredients into a small bowl, whisk well until smooth and emulsified; refrigerate until ready to dress.
- Toast the slivered almonds, by placing them into a large dry skillet, toast over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Once toasted, remove immediately from the skillet onto a plate to cool to prevent burning.
- Rinse the pan with water to remove any almond fragment, then toast the sunflower seeds, by placing them into a large dry skillet, toast over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Once toasted, remove immediately from the skillet onto a plate to cool to prevent burning.
- If the sesame seeds are not toasted, then rinse the skillet that was used to toast the almonds and sunflower seed, then place the sesame seeds into the large dry skillet, toast over medium heat for several minutes until golden, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Once toasted remove immediately from the skillet onto a plate to cool to prevent burning. If sesame seeds were purchased already toasted, skip this step.
- Place all the Salad Ingredients (including the toasted and cooled nuts and seeds) into a large bowl, mix well to combine, then pour the Orange-Tahini Dressing over top, mix well until all the Salad Ingredients are thoroughly coated. Serve and enjoy! Refrigerate leftovers.
