Raw Cabbage Salad

Healthful, raw and flavorful - a good accompaniment to any Asian meal

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 1  napa cabbage (or just green cabbage)
• 1  bunch scallion
• 2  carrots, sliced into thin sticks
• 1⁄4 cup  chopped cilantro
• 1⁄4 cup tamari or 1⁄4 cup soy sauce
• 1 -2  tablespoon  sesame oil
• 5  teaspoons rice vinegar
•  black sesame seed, toasted for garnish (optional)

Directions

1. Slice cabbage into thin ribbons and place in a large bowl.
2. Slice carrots into thin sticks and place with the cabbage (I like to cut the carrot into 4 sections, cut each section in half, and then turn upside down and slice thinly).
3. Chop scallions and place with the cabbage and carrots.
4. Combine the tamari, rice vinegar and sesame oil in a small bowl (this is the dressing).
5. Pour dressing gradually over the salad while mixing - I like it better lightly dressed, and reserve some for those who like extra dressing!
6. Add chopped cilantro and sesame seeds and mix again.
7. This salad gets better as it sits!
