2 cloves garlic, finely minced

Shave the brussels sprouts by using a food processor with the slicing attachment and pulse until the brussels sprouts are thinly sliced. If you don’t have a food processor, feel free to use a sharp knife to thinly slice.

Add shaved brussels sprouts to a bowl, along with shredded red cabbage, shredded carrots, red bell pepper, cilantro and green onion. Top with cashews and toasted almonds.

Make the dressing by whisking together the following in a medium bowl or shaking in a mason jar: sesame oil, olive oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, garlic and fresh ginger. If you want a creamier dressing, add in a tablespoon of tahini or cashew butter.

Drizzle over the salad and use tongs to toss the salad together so that the dressing coats all of the brussels sprouts and cabbage. Garnish salad and enjoy! Serves 4-6.
