Serves 5-6
Ingredients:
- 1 shredded green cabbage
- ½ a red Cabbage shredded
- 2 julienned carrots
- 1 julienned jalapeno pepper
- ½ small red onion thinly sliced
- ½ cup chopped cilantro
- 1 can (11oz) Mandarin Oranges in light syrup
- 1 T toasted Sesame seeds
Dressing:
- 2½ T Vegetable oil
- ½ T sesame oil
- 1 tsp Chili Oil
- 1 T soy sauce
- 3 T rice vinegar
- 1½ T granulated sugar
- 1 T toasted sesame seeds
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
In a small bowl combine the ingredients to make the dressing, to this mixture also add in the syrup from the can of mandarin oranges and also add in 1 tablespoon of chopped cilantro. Mix well, then taste the flavor and season with salt and pepper if needed. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before using it.
In a large bowl combine the ingredients to make the salad: Green Cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, onion, jalapeno and the rest of the cilantro, season with 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds, toss to combine, then top the salad with the mandarin oranges.
Pour the dressing over the salad and serve. (I recommend you add the dressing 5 minutes before serving the salad, this time will allow the cabbage to really absorb all the flavors in the dressing!
Enjoy!
