Ingredients

• 1 cabbage, head of
• 4 green onions, chopped with tops
• 1 broccoli, head of (optional)
• 3 carrots (if desired...adds nice color)
• 1 cup slivered almonds, toasted
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
• 1 cup sunflower seeds
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (i use braggs because it has the mother ( )
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
• 1 1/2 tablespoons poultry seasoning
• 1 1/2 tablespoons mexican blend seasoning (morton & basset)

Recipe

• 1 toast your seeds and nuts and set aside.
• 2 shred cabbage if not buying store bought shredded.
• 3 shred broccoli and carrots (if desired).
• 4 combine cabbage, onions, broccoli and carrots and set aside.
• 5 for the dressing:.
• 6 combine olive oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper and spices.
• 7 whisk or shake till mixed well.
• 8 before serving, pour the dressing on the cabbage mixture. add the nuts/seeds. also consider adding cooked chicken if desired (my favorite way of eating it).
• 9 note: regular vinegar is fine.
• 10 note: i'm guessing on the amount of poultry and mexican blend because i just add a little at a time until it tastes the way i want. in the past, i have also substituted portions of the sugar out for xylitol and/or stevia with good results.
• 11 note: this recipe could probably serve 8 people as their main meal if you add chicken. its a very large recipe.
