Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by removing any tough outer leaves from the purple and green cabbage. Finely shred both types of cabbage and place them in a large mixing bowl. Next, julienne the vibrant orange carrots into matchsticks and add them to the bowl, followed by small broccoli florets. For a fresh punch, finely slice the green onions and toss them in as well.
  2. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons of toasted sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger. Gradually drizzle in 2 tablespoons of neutral oil like avocado oil while whisking to create a smooth emulsion.
  3. Pour the freshly made dressing over the prepared vegetable mix. Using tongs or a large spoon, gently toss everything together until each piece of vegetable is thoroughly coated in the dressing. Allow it to mix for about 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. Transfer the salad to a serving bowl. To finish, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top and serve immediately for maximum crunch.

Notes

Ensure cabbages are dried well after washing; excess water can make the salad soggy. For maximum flavor, let the salad rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
