Cabbage Salad with carrots, apples & peanuts

By Niecer

Any asian style dressing will work for this salad. I used an organic sesame ginger. You can also add grilled chicken to the salad to up the protein but the vegetarian version is just as delicious.

Ingredients

• 1 head green cabbage
• 3 apples (any kind you prefer)
• 3 carrots, shredded
• 1 cup of roasted unsalted peanuts
• 1/4 cup fresh chopped scallion
• Sesame ginger salad dressing
• Salt
• Grilled chicken (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Clean the cabbage and cut it into quarters. Slice each quarter into thin shreds, removing any large or very hard pieces. Place the sliced cabbage in a very large bowl. Shred the carrots using a mandolin or hand grater. Clean and cut the apples into bite size pieces. Chop the peanuts. Clean and chop the scallion discarding the white ends. Add all the ingredients to the large bowl. If using chicken, chop into bite size pieces and add to the bowl as well. Add 5-6 tablespoons of dressing and toss to coat. Mix very well before adding more dressing. This salad takes a bit of work to mix! Add more dressing if necessary and salt to taste. Toss again and allow to sit for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend. Serve and enjoy!
