RECIPE
Servings: 3-4 servings
Time: 10 min
Ingredients:
1/2 head of cabbage
salt
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp chuka powder
Instructions:

Gently massage the cabbage with your hands for a few minutes until it becomes slightly wilted and tender. Squeeze out the excess water, remove the cabbage into a separate bowl.
Combine Chuka powder, mayonnaise, sesame oil, and sesame seeds with the cabbage. Ensure that all the cabbage strands are well-covered with the dressing. as this will enhance the flavor of the salad.
Customization ideas:
Cabbage and Tuna Salad: Add a can of drained tuna to the cabbage salad for an additional protein boost and a unique flavor combination. Mix it in along with the dressing to distribute the tuna evenly throughout the salad.
Asian-inspired Cabbage Salad: Incorporate shredded carrots, thinly sliced bell peppers, and bean sprouts (cook for 4-5 minutes in microwave, squeeze off the excess water) to the cabbage for a colorful and crunchy twist. Drizzle the salad with soy sauce for additional flavor profile.
Creamy Coleslaw Variation: To make a creamier coleslaw, increase the amount of mayonnaise in the dressing and add a tablespoon of honey for a touch of sweetness. Toss in some grated carrots and diced onions for added texture and flavor.
