Ingredients

Scale

1 cup sliced almonds
4 cups shredded green cabbage (approximately 1/2 head of green cabbage)
2 cups shredded red cabbage (approximately 1/4 head of red cabbage)
1 cup grated carrots (from about 3 medium carrots)
2 green onions, trimmed and chopped (both white and green parts)
1 red bell pepper, cored and cut into thin sticks
4 radishes, halved and thinly sliced
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup chopped fresh dill
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon sumac
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 limes, juiced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sumac
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Black pepper

Instructions

Toast the Almonds Start by toasting 1 cup of sliced almonds in a large pan coated with a thin layer of olive oil over medium heat. Stir continuously until they turn golden, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Make the Dijon-Lime Vinaigrette In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, the juice from 2 limes, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/3 cup of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon sumac, and an optional 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes. Whisk thoroughly and season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Prepare the Salad In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbages, grated carrots, chopped onions, sliced red bell pepper, sliced radishes, chopped parsley, and dill. Season the mixture with a few pinches of kosher salt and 1 teaspoon of sumac. Mix in 3/4 of the toasted almonds.
Dress and Chill Pour the previously prepared Dijon-Lime Vinaigrette over the salad. Toss everything together gently to coat evenly. If possible, cover and refrigerate the dressed salad for 30 minutes to 1 hour to enhance the flavors and slightly soften the cabbage.
Finish and Serve Before serving, toss the salad again to refresh the mix and garnish with the remaining toasted almonds.
