In my fridge I had a head of green cabbage, apples, a nub of ginger, and three carrots and didn't feel like going to the market to get anything else. I was pleasantly surprised by the refreshing results. —MamaIntheKitchen

I think I will substitute some broccoli and bell pepper for the apple and a Tbsp. of honey; wish me luck.

This is amazing! I added peanut butter to the dressing as well and it was fantastic. Also added some toasted black sesame seeds.

This is really tasty - I love the apple in with the cabbage and carrot. I made a small addition by adding 1 tbsp creamy peanut butter to the dressing. We had this with terryaki burgers on the grilled with pineapple rings. Perfect side!!
