Crunchy Cabbage Salad

August 24, 2015 By Tracey Leave a Comment

This crunchy cabbage salad is so good it makes me salivate.  There’s something about delicious toasted almond slivers with crunchy sweet cabbage slivers and a smattering of sunflower oil, brown sugar and vinegar that makes my taste buds go completely insane.  I love this salad more than chocolate. The fact that it consists primarily of green cabbage is an absolute bonus for health. Whenever I make this sweet crunchy salad it gets showered with compliments like “oh god that is good”, “can I have the recipe ?” “this is really delicious”.   This cabbage salad is like the Melbourne Cup champion of salads.  If I sound a bit gushy its because I’m a little infatuated and have been for a very long time.  I’ve been making this dish for a couple of decades now (god I sound old) and I just adore it as much as ever.

I find it best eaten alone as a main meal, either lunch or dinner,  or served as a side dish at a BBQ with family and friends.  Yum!  I think I have to make it again this week now.  I really shouldn’t talk about it too much or I’ll start to drool.

  • ½ cup (70 grams) Slivered Almonds - toasted (lightly toast in a dry frying pan or oven)
  • ⅓ cup (50grams) Sunflower Seeds - toasted (lightly toast in dry frying pan or oven)

  • ½ Cup Sunflower Oil almost - slightly less (approximately 120 ml)
  • ¼ Cup White Vinegar
  • ¼ Cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 Teaspoons Soy Sauce
  • Optional: ¼ cup carrots julienne (cut into matchstick size pieces) - I add this whenever I have extra time for slicing
Instructions
  1. Shred cabbage or chop into slivers - place in a big bowl
  2. Chop spring onions (Scallions) - place in a big bowl with cabbage
  3. Pour sunflower oil, followed by brown sugar, followed by vinegar and soy sauce into a glass jar to mix - put on lid and shake it to mix thoroughly when ready to serve.
  4. Pour oil dressing over cabbage salad mix
  5. Toss salad lightly
  6. Add toasted almond slivers, toasted sunflower seeds and Changs Fried Noodles
  7. Toss salad lightly again.
  8. Serve and enjoy!
  9. HOT TIP: For full flavour and full zing: place dressing ingredients in glass jar, but don't shake and mix the dressing ingredients until immediately before serving.
  10. TIME-SAVER TIP: Some supermarkets sell a bag of fresh pre-chopped cabbage, spring onion and carrot. It saves time on slicing yourself.
