Notes

Tips & How to Store

This salad stores well! If you're planning on storing it, keep the almonds and sesame seeds separate. Store it in the refrigerator, with dressing, for up to 4 days. The dressing soaks into the cabbage and makes it even better on the days to come!
When ready to serve, top with the toasted nuts.
Make this Keto Friendly: This salad is low in carbs, but it can be lowered even more by omitting the oranges and edamame. These two omissions make the salad 13 net carbs per serving (which is appropriate for 1 meal for an active person). Serve with protein of choice, like this incredible coconut aminos grilled chicken!
