Ingredients
• 1 head purple cabbage
• 3 carrots
• handful of cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup mixed herbs. EG: cilantro, parsley, basil, and mint
• 1/2 cup shelled sunflower seeds
• avocado (optional)
The tahini-orange vinaigrette dressing:
• 2 tablespoons tahini
• 2 teaspoons hot water
• juice of 1 orange
• 1 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• squeeze of sriracha
• kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
1. Make the dressing: combine everything in a jar and shake!
2. Cut the purple cabbage into quarters and core. Shred into very thin ribbons – you can use either a mandoline or a food processor to make life easier. Add shredded cabbage to a large bowl and drizzle with a little of the vinaigrette and a sprinkle of salt. Use hands to massage cabbage for about a minute to help it soften.
3. Cut carrots into very thin coins, or shave on a mandoline, and add to the bowl.
4. Halve cherry tomatoes and add to the bowl.
5. Roughly chop the herbs, then add them to the bowl with sunflower seeds, a big drizzle of dressing, and a pinch of salt.
6. Toss it all together, and top with avocado if you want to make it more substantial.
