SERVES: 12

COOK TIME: 10 Min

This crunchy cabbage salad is drenched in an Asian inspired dressing that has toasty hints of peanut, sesame and a delightful tang. Sesame Cabbage Salad is great with the dressing warm or chilled.

What You'll Need

1 tablespoon peanut oil
1/4 cup sesame seeds
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons white vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup canola oil
1 head Napa or Chinese cabbage, washed and cut into bite-sized pieces

What to Do

In a medium saucepan, heat the peanut oil over medium heat. Add the sesame seeds and garlic and saut for 3 to 5 minutes, until the seeds are golden brown.
Reduce the heat to medium-low; add the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and canola oil, and cook for 2 more minutes.
Place the cabbage in a large bowl and pour the warm dressing over it, tossing to coat completely. Serve immediately.
