CRUNCHY ASIAN CABBAGE SALAD (LOW CARB AND KETO)

Steps:

• Shred the cabbage into a large bowl. Add in the remaining ingredients for the Asian cabbage, mix well.
• After 15 minutes, mix again ensuring that any liquid from the bottom of the bowl is mixed back into the cabbage.
• Finely slice the cucumbers into a medium sized bowl. Add in the remaining ingredients for the Asian cucumbers, mix well and allow to rest for 30 minutes.
• Finely slice the red peppers into a medium sized bowl. Add in the remaining ingredients for the Asian red peppers, mix well and allow to rest for 30 minutes.
• Finely dice the onions and add into a small bowl. The bowl size is important so that the vinegar covers the onions.
• Cover the onions with red wine vinegar and allow to rest for 20 minutes.
• Combine all the ingredients into a bowl. Mix well and set aside. NOTE: Do not refrigerate as the coconut oil will harden!
• Once all the components to the Asian cabbage salad have had a chance to marinate, start by placing the cabbage in the bottom of a soup-sized bowl.
• Top the cabbage with equal portions of marinated cucumber, marinated red peppers and the sliced avocado. If using snow peas, add them into the salad now.
• If you have chosen to make the quick pickled onions, add them to the top along with an additional pinch of cilantro. For added garnish, sprinkle with additional sesame seeds.
• The serving size is quite large for the Asian Cabbage Salad and has a NET Carb count of 7.1g per serving.
