I really enjoyed this salad and will definitely make it again. We had it with a spicy sweet potato and lentil bake and the crunch and tang of the salad made it a perfect accompaniment. It is easy to make while other dishes are cooking. The only change I made was to swap the almonds (which I didn’t have) for a few toasted and chopped cashew nuts. Thank you for a great recipe.

I’m an 82 yr old senior with a caregiver who helps a few hours a week. I tried this recipe without her help. I found it easy to follow but I had to make an adjustment, as I always do with your recipes. I live with congestive heart failure and am on a low salt diet. I omitted the salt in this recipe and found it great. I had no sesame oil, so I took a tablespoon off the top of a jar of Tahini. I used 1/2 tsp garlic and 1/2 tsp ginger both from a jar.
Next I chopped a 1/2 bag slaw and an apple in a Ninja food processor.. The dressing poured over the slaw was outstanding. I have several meals left. The entire process was quick and easy. I am deadly with a knife and recipes with no or minimal cutting are greatly appreciated.

Delicious Asian cabbage salad! I could have this as a side every day!

This. Recipe. THIS RECIPE!!!! Thanksgiving 2023 was transformed this year and this recipe played a big role in it. I was in charge of the veggie sides – I love Thanksgiving but the food is soooooo heavy – so this year I made bacon brussels sprouts (heavy) but paired them with green bean almondine (lemony and light), a cranberry orange relish instead of cranberry sauce (tart, tangy, citrussy), and THIS SALAD!!!! And perhaps you’re wondering – why an Asian styled sesame/lime cabbage salad at Thanksgiving? Because I can. And I did. And it was magical. The flavors went SO well to balance the heaviness of turkey, potatoes, and stuffing.

50/5 stars. Alsooooo, my husband ate leftovers the day after and he said “babe! Make that salad and then make chicken skewers with that peanutbutter sauce and then take the salad and the chicken and wrap it in spring roll wrappers! I want it all!”

For real – amazing recipe – thank you thank you. Saving this one for a long time.

I can’t stop eating this. Thank you!

It’s a good way to eat cabbage, as eating cabbage is very healthy. However, because the recipe contains so much lime juice and apple cider vinegar it is very acidic. If I make drinks that are acidic (such as Hibiscus Tea) I try to drink them through a straw so it avoids most of the contact with the teeth. There is no way to suck this salad through a straw. I don’t know if the teeth grinding on the cabbage while exposed to the acidic dressing does any significant damage to the enamel or not. Regardless, I would recommend anyone eating it should rinse his mouth with water after eating it to try and help minimize the effect of acid damaging tooth enamel.

Really great recipe! We cut the recipe in half, and then also did half the amount of lime juice. Subbed cilantro paste for cilantro since we didn’t have any on hand, and excluded ginger since our other dish had a lot in it already. Very pleased on how this turned out!

Delicious! Will make again.
