Ingredients

for the salad-

14 oz cabbage red and green, shredded
1 cup carrot grated
1 cup yellow bell pepper chopped
3 whole green onion chopped
1/4 cup cilantro fresh, chopped
11 oz can mandarin oranges well drained
1 cup chow mein noodles
1/4 cup sliced almonds toasted
1/3 cup red onion chopped

for the sesame dressing-

1 clove garlic finely minced
1 1/2 teaspoons ginger finely minced
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon white vinegar
2 tablespoons canola oil or vegetable oil
salt to taste
black pepper to taste

Instructions

Place all salad ingredients into a large bowl. Set aside.
In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together all ingredients for the dressing. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary.
When you are ready to serve, toss dressing together with the salad and serve immediately.

Notes

Storage Instructions

Store the salad and dressing separately in the fridge for up to 3 days. Toss right before serving to keep everything crisp.

Freezing is not recommended since the cabbage and vegetables lose their texture.

If making ahead, prep all ingredients and keep them chilled, then combine with dressing just before serving.
