Ingredients
- 1 cup cauliflower florets
- 2 cups cabbage, shredded
- 1/4 cup carrots, grated
- 1/4 cup sweet and sour dressing
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the vegetables. Rinse the cauliflower florets under cold water and cut them into bite-sized pieces if they are not already. Set aside.
- Next, take the cabbage and remove any wilted outer leaves. Shred the cabbage finely using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
- Grate the carrots using a box grater or a food processor. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
- In a separate bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the cauliflower. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender but still crisp. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Once the cauliflower has cooled, add it to the bowl with the cabbage and carrots. Toss the vegetables together to combine them evenly.
- Pour the sweet and sour dressing over the mixed vegetables. Gently toss everything together until the dressing is evenly distributed throughout the salad.
- Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the top of the salad and give it another gentle toss to incorporate them.
- Let the salad sit for about 5 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve the Sweet and Sour Cauliflower and Cabbage Salad chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy your refreshing and colorful salad!
