A zesty summer salad recipe from the Gaiam Café kitchen.
Serves 6 to 8
Salad ingredients:
1 head Napa cabbage, chopped
1 head red cabbage, chopped
1 red pepper, cut julienne
1 scallion, chopped
½ pound bean pods, cut in halves or thirds
1 cup slivered toasted almonds
2 T black sesame seeds
Dressing ingredients:
1 cup orange juice
¼ cup pineapple juice
¼ cup rice wine vinegar
1 nub of ginger, thumb size
1 orange (to zest)
1 lime (to zest)
4 T sesame oil
1 cup vegetable oil
Directions:
Combine all prepared salad ingredients into a large bowl and set aside. Once dressing is prepared, mix it in thoroughly with salad. Best served chilled.
Dressing preparation:
Zest nub of ginger into the blender. Add rest of the ingredients to blender, excluding the oils. Blend for 2 minutes. Slowly add sesame oil, then the vegetable oil. Season with salt and pepper.
This recipe sounds delicious, and looks it too, but 1 CUP of oil? Interesting that there isn’t a nutrition information link, unless I missed it!
I hear you Regina, but remember that it’s an entire head of cabbage and an entire head of red cabbage. I’m a Gaiam employee and I’ve had this slaw and love it. But if I was at home cooking for my family I’d buy a bag of pre-cut mixed cabbage and use a third or maybe a fourth of everything on the dressing list.
Am I dense, but what kind of bean pods ?
Nutriton facts would be great! Looks delicious,
