This Cabbage Crunch Salad is light, crisp, and tossed with a simple tangy-sweet dressing that brings it all together. It takes just minutes to throw together and makes a quick lunch or side for grilled meats.
You’ll love the contrast of textures in this salad. The cabbage stays fresh and crisp, the almonds add a toasty crunch, and the sesame seeds bring a nutty bite. The dressing is just the right balance of vinegar, oil, and sweetness to keep it light but flavorful.
Helpful Tips
- Toast the almonds and sesame seeds for extra flavor. Just a few minutes in a dry skillet will bring out their nuttiness.
- Shred the cabbage thinly so it absorbs more of the dressing and mixes well with the other ingredients.
- Let it sit for a few minutes before serving to let the flavors meld, but not too long or it’ll lose that fresh crunch.
