1/2 head green cabbage, shredded
1 cup shredded or julienned carrots (matchstick size)
1 red pepper, thinly sliced lengthwise into matchsticks
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 cup chopped almonds
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
For dressing
1 tablespoon natural almond butter
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
Juice of 1/2 lime
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon maple syrup
Pinch of salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Combine the cabbage, carrots, peppers, scallions, cilantro, almonds and sesame seeds in a large bowl.
