Chinese Cabbage Salad with Orange & Tahini Dressing

From The Tassajara Recipe Book by Edward Espe Brown Click for the book

One of my favorite recipe books, this recipe offers a great way to add antioxidant-rich cabbage to your diet.

Serves 4-6

Ingredients

1 small cabbage

4-5 oranges

½ tbs. lemon juice

1 tbs. soy sauce

1 tbs. apple cider vinegar

pinch of salt

1 ½ tbs. water

pepper

clove of garlic, pressed

1 ½ tbs. dark sesame oil

¼ cup tahini

optional: slivered almonds

Preparation

Slice the cabbage into quarters and then into thin strips crosswise or at an angle crosswise. Cut the oranges in chunks or rounds. Mix together the next seven ingredients and set aside. Blend together the tahini and oil, then whisk into the salad dressing mixture. The dressing should be thick. Toss the dressing together with the cabbage and oranges and garnish with additional orange slices. (I also like to add slivered almonds!)
