Red Cabbage, Cilantro and Walnut Salad image

This slaw, a mix of very thinly shredded red cabbage, cilantro, julienned radishes and walnuts, is a perfect sweet-nutty-salty-sour mix. Pair it with dumplings, or other dim sum, and it holds its own.

Time 20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon agave syrup
1 tablespoon fish sauce
Salt to taste (optional; fish sauce is salty)
3 tablespoons grapeseed oil
2 tablespoons walnut oil
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
8 cups finely shredded red cabbage (1 medium cabbage, quartered, cored and finely sliced)
1/2 cup slivered cilantro leaves with top parts of stems (lay bunch down and cut across the bunch)
1 cup julienned radishes
1 to 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger, to taste
1 cup lightly toasted walnut halves

Steps:

  • In a small bowl whisk together lime juice, rice vinegar, agave syrup, fish sauce, salt (if using) and oils.
  • In a large bowl, combine red cabbage, cilantro, radishes, ginger and 1/3 cup of the nuts. Toss together, add dressing and toss together again. Refrigerate until ready to serve, and toss again before serving.
  • Mound the slaw in a bowl or on a platter. It looks nice if you press it into a bowl then reverse it onto a platter. Top with remaining toasted nuts just before serving.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the dressing.

I'm not a big fan of cabbage, but this salad is actually really good. The dressing is what makes it.

This salad is so delicious and refreshing! I love the combination of the sweet cabbage, tart cranberries, and crunchy walnuts. The dressing is also perfect - it's light and tangy, and it really brings all the flavors together.
