  • 1/2 small head of red cabbage, thinly sliced or grated
  • 6 green onions, sliced diagonally
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and coarsely grated
  • 1 Tbsp sesame seeds, white or black, toasted (15 mL)

    Dressing:

  • 1/3 cup seasoned rice vinegar (75 mL)
  • 1/4 cup canola oil (60 mL)

  2. Prepare dressing by shaking together rice vinegar, canola oil, garlic, ginger, soy sauce and sesame oil.

Notes:

Much lighter than a classic coleslaw, this colorful salad offers tangy flavor and crunch. Enjoy as an accompaniment to grilled fish, chicken, tofu or pork.
