  • 3 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine green and red cabbage, carrots, green onions, almonds, and sunflower seeds.
  3. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together vegetable oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
