Provided by Jennifer Hunt, RDN, LD

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

16 oz bag coleslaw mix
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (+ more for garnish)
2 tbsp chopped green onion
2 oranges (sliced in small wedges)
6 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
2 tbsp 100% pure maple syrup
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup sunflower seeds (raw)
1/4 cup slivered almonds (raw)

Steps:

In a large mixing bowl with lid, add in coleslaw mix, cilantro, green onion and orange slices.
In a mason jar or container with an airtight lid combine vinegar, oil, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Secure lid and shake up well. Pour over coleslaw and toss with tongs until all the cabbage is well coated. Cover slaw with a lid and store in refrigerator for at least 6 hours to allow flavors to combine.
Before serving, in a medium non-stick pan, toast sunflower seeds and almonds on medium heat until lightly brown and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes (shake pan every ~20 seconds to prevent burning). Garnish coleslaw with seeds, almonds and addition chopped cilantro.

Tips:

For a sweeter slaw, use a combination of orange and grapefruit segments. For a tarter slaw, use a combination of lemon and lime segments.
If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots.
Be sure to rinse the cabbage and carrots thoroughly before slicing to remove any dirt or debris.
For a more flavorful slaw, let it marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Serve the slaw as a side dish with grilled chicken, fish, or shrimp, or as a topping for tacos or sandwiches.
