Ingredients
  

  • 0.5 cup sliced or slivered almonds toasted
  • 0.5 small head green cabbage finely sliced (about 3 cups)
  • 0.5 small head red cabbage finely sliced (about 3 cups)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper very thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots about 2 medium
  • 1 cup frozen shelled edamame thawed
  • 0.5 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 0.25 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

Equipment

  • Oven
  • mixing bowl
  • baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the almonds in a single layer on an ungreased rimmed baking sheet. Toast for 4 to 6 minutes, until fragrant and crisp, tossing once halfway through.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the green and red cabbage, bell pepper, carrots, edamame, and cilantro.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients: rice vinegar, honey, soy sauce, peanut butter, and ginger. Pour enough dressing over the salad to moisten it and toss to coat. Adjust dressing as desired.
  4. Add the toasted almonds to the salad and give it a final, light toss. If time allows, let it marinate for 30 minutes prior to serving.
