For a nuttier flavor, toast the sesame seeds and almonds in a dry pan before adding them to the oil. If you don't have white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar can be used as a substitute. This salad is best served immediately after tossing with the noodle mixture to maintain maximum crunch. However, the cabbage and dressing can be prepared ahead of time and stored separately. Consider adding other crunchy elements like sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds for extra texture.

Oct 3, 2024The dressing is a little too sweet for my taste, so I reduced the sugar by a couple of tablespoons. It was much better!
