As not to have to go to the corner shop and to just use my ‘last ingredients’ :), I used only pointed cabbage and green bell pepper; but with the coriander and the dressing it was divine. Oh, I did not put in almond butter (didn’t have), but with heaps of chopped skinned almonds it got both the crunch and some creaminess anyway. I put a little more ginger, as I loooove ginger; the ratio of the dressing is so good!
I love all your improvising!!!
This looks so good!
