I had a cabbage left from my Bountiful Basket and wanted to use it before I get my new basket this weekend.  The typical mayonnaisey (that’s a word, right?!) coleslaw didn’t sound appealing so I went on the hunt for a different preparation.

My recipe box coughed up this golden oldie – California Slaw.  I’ve had this recipe for a looong time, but haven’t made it in years.  I’m not sure why or how it was moved to “forgotten” status because it’s still as good as I remembered and a nice change from the traditional coleslaw. While not the most photogenic dish (especially at the end of the day – ha!), I guarantee California Slaw tastes better than it looks.

The dressing is a nice blend of tangy, sweet and a little salty from the soy sauce – yum!!  Paired with the crunchy cabbage, almonds, sunflower seeds and Ramen noodles makes this a winner all the way around. Prep time is fairly minimal – you can easily make this on a weeknight.

Ingredients

  • SALAD INGREDIENTS:

Instructions

  • Dressing: combine the vinegar, sugar and soy sauce; stir to combine. Slowly add the oil, whisking until emulsified (can use an immersion blender).
