this is how we do it

Pan fry (roast) the nuts while you chop all the veg up. DO NOT LEAVE the frying pan vicinity. DO NOT TALK to anyone – the nuts will burn.

They might burn anyways but at least if you’re right there you can save them.

Chop up the cabbage.

• quarter the cabbage, sharp knife and solid cutting platform
• slice off the core on each quarter
• Slice 2 quarters thinly long ways and 2 quarters short ways – this creates nice variety in each forkful

Grate the carrots through the big holes of a box grater.

Finely slice the green onions.

De-stem and finely chop the cilantro.

The amounts on the cilantro and green onions are a personal decision.

🌿 Create With Love 🌿

ADD all the veggies and nuts to a large bowl and combine with your hands gently.

Combine all the dressing ingredients in a medium sized container and whisk.

Transfer the veggies to a gallon sized ziplock and away you go to your party/ potluck.

An hour before eating time combine the dressing with the vegetables.

A refreshing change from the classic (and oh so good) coleslaw made with pantry items you have on hand.

Amp up your game:

Everything Bagel seasoning is awesome sprinkled on top.

Add a protein to this and you have yourself a better than takeout lunch.

Heck this salad is so good I’d add it to the snack category.
