Dear Cancer Project supporter,

Just in time for the Chinese New Year, this salad is a rainbow of gorgeous colors. Its flavorful, gingery dressing will keep you coming back for “just one more taste.” The cabbage in this recipe adds numerous nutritional benefits and contains a group of cancer-fighting compounds called indoles that can help fight off breast cancer cells.


Directions

Makes about 6 1-cup servings

2 cups finely shredded green cabbage
2 cups finely shredded red cabbage
1 carrot, grated or julienned
1/2 cup sliced celery
1/2 cup finely chopped sweet onion
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons dry roasted peanuts
2 tablespoons sesame seeds 
1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons apple juice concentrate
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Combine cabbage, carrot, celery, onion, cilantro, and peanuts in a large bowl.

Toast sesame seeds in a skillet over high heat, stirring constantly, until they begin to pop and become fragrant, about 2 minutes. Grind in a blender or food processor and add to the salad.

In a small bowl, mix vinegar, apple juice concentrate, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and black pepper. Just before serving, add to the salad and toss to mix.
