I love a great short-cut salad, so for this one you’ll grab a bag of that pre-shredded cabbage mix at the store.
Then you’ll add a bunch of fresh vegetables to it. I use celery, bell pepper, onion, cucumber, and snap peas but you can literally toss anything in here you like!
Just toss all of the salad ingredients together, and this part can totally be done ahead of time.
The super simple dressing has only a small amount of oil in it and it can be made ahead of time as well. When it’s ready, just toss everything together. It always feels like there’s not quite enough dressing at first, but the trick is to let this salad sit and marinate for about 20 minutes or so (longer won’t hurt it either!) and it all comes together.
Finish it off with some toasted almonds and sesame seeds right before serving.
You can eat this plain as a great side dish or add chicken to it for a main-dish meal.
I love it with grilled Asian BBQ Chicken!
