Shredded cabbage, carrots and edamame tossed in a gingery sesame-soy dressing and topped with toasted almonds. Sturdy enough to make ahead for lunches all week.

## Ingredients
- ¼ cup rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1½ tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 2 tbsp neutral oil
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 6 cups green and red cabbage, thinly sliced, about 1 small head
- 2 carrots, shredded
- 1½ cups shelled edamame, thawed if frozen
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced
- ½ cup cilantro, chopped
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
- ⅓ cup sliced almonds, toasted

## Steps
1. Whisk ¼ cup rice vinegar, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1½ tbsp toasted sesame oil, 2 tbsp neutral oil, 1 tbsp maple syrup, 2 tsp fresh ginger and 1 clove garlic in a large bowl.
2. Add 6 cups green and red cabbage, 2 carrots, 1½ cups shelled edamame, 4 scallions and ½ cup cilantro, and toss well to coat.
3. Let it sit 10 minutes so the cabbage softens slightly and soaks up the dressing.
4. Just before serving, top with 2 tbsp sesame seeds and ⅓ cup sliced almonds.

## Chef's note
Unlike lettuce salads, this one holds 3 days in the fridge, so I make it on Sunday. Keep the nuts and seeds separate until you eat it so they stay crunchy. Add baked tofu to make it a meal.
