Shredded layers of peppery red cabbage tossed in a sweet balsamic vinegary dressing sprinkled with slices of chilli, activated walnuts and toasted sesame seeds; Raw Spicy Red Cabbage with Walnuts and Sesame Seeds.
Get your pecker all puckered with something spicy yet salivating.
Make this:
- When you want a quick and easy summer dish to put together that looks the biz
- When you’ve just got back from work and it’s blistering outside and only a salad will tick the box
- When you’ve got a last minute party organised and want something that looks visual and is super tasty tasty, yet effortless
This spicy raw cabbage salad is a favourite of mine and in colour and taste lifts all the surrounding dishes.
Make sure you plan the walnut activation. Keep them in a sealed glass jar until ready to use, at any time.
