(recipe serves a crowd 15-20, adjust portions down for a smaller batch)

2 heads Napa cabbage, leaves thinly sliced

1 head purple cabbage, thinly sliced

Cut out the “spine” of the cabbage leaves.

I added 2 T of dark sesame oil to the dressing recipe.

2 red bell peppers, cut into thin strips

2 large jalapeño peppers, seeded and cut into thin strips

1 small bag of shredded carrots

1 small package of snap peas, blanched and cut in half on the diagonal

1 bunch cilantro, finely chopped

1 bunch green onion, finely chopped

1 bunch of fresh mint leaves, finely chopped

Black sesame seeds for garnish

1 recipe of Orange Soy Ginger Vinaigrette

All ingredients, except mint, can be prepared earlier in the day. Add mint, dressing and sesame seeds just prior to serving. Toss. I did not add additional salt or pepper. The dressing and fresh herbs deliver the flavor. Photo does not show black sesame seeds. They really are a nice addition.
