Napa Cabbage Slaw with Toasted Almonds

Original recipe by Cynthia Lair for Cookus Interruptus.  Copyright @ 2009.  

Cabbage is amazing.  Fifteen calories per cup.  Read about how it prevents cancer and heals wounds. No kidding.

Salad:
1/3 cup raw almonds, toasted and roughly chopped
½  napa cabbage, shredded or thinly sliced (~ 4 cups)
2 scallions, chopped fine
¼ cup chopped cilantro

Dressing:
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon tamari
1 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
½ teaspoon sea salt

To toast almonds, place whole almonds in a baking pan and toast in a 300-325 degree F. oven for 10-15 minutes, until the color
begins to darken and they give off a rich nutty aroma.  Use our Tamari Roasted Nuts if you would like to add another layer of flavor to this salad.  

Combine lime juice, vinegar, tamari, sugar, oils and salt in a salad bowl.  Whisk to incorporate.  Two of our other videos make this
recipe even easier.  You can also use  2 tablespoons of Lime Boost instead of the lime juice and sugar (see how handy it is?).
Prepare vegetables and chop almonds.  Put in bowl and toss gently until mixed with dressing.  Taste for salt and adjust if necessary.

Preparation time: 20 minutes
Makes 4 servings

Oscar party tonight! I'm on my way to Whole Foods to get the ingredients for this delightful-looking salad! I'll let you know how it turns out (the salad, not the Oscars):) Thank you.

I tried this salad last night at my friend's Monday night get-together. This salad is going to be a favorite for me, and it's perfect for a hot summer cool dinner. I also like that the ingredients are simple, easy to have on hand.
