Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Cabbage Salad with Tangy Dressing.
Step 1
Start by whisking together the canola oil, red wine vinegar, soy sauce, and white sugar in a large mixing bowl. Keep stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved, creating a smooth and tangy dressing that will elevate your salad.
Step 2
Next, add the shredded cabbage and thinly sliced green onions to the bowl. These fresh ingredients will add a delightful crunch and vibrant color to your dish.
Step 3
For an extra layer of flavor and texture, toss in the slivered almonds and sunflower seed kernels if you're using them. They bring a nutty richness that complements the salad beautifully.
Step 4
Once everything is well combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and pop it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least an hour before serving; this allows the flavors to meld together. For the best taste, consider letting it sit overnight!
Step 5
When you're ready to serve, give the salad a gentle toss to redistribute the dressing. This salad is not only a great side dish but also a fantastic light meal on its own.
How to Serve
Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish at barbecues or picnics, or enjoy it as a light lunch on its own. Pair it with grilled chicken or fish for a complete meal.
How to Store
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The salad may become softer over time, but the flavors will continue to develop.
