Tangy Sweet Cabbage Salad with Almonds

This is a deceptively simple looking salad that packs a wallop of flavor. At first glance it looks like regular ole coleslaw with some nuts and a few sesame seeds sprinkled on for garnish.

But beware, it is seriously addictive.

Shredded cabbage is mixed with almonds, sesame oil, honey and rice vinegar to create a smoky, sweet and tangy dressing that will have you forking this salad into your mouth on a near continuous basis. I always make double this batch because it gets eaten up faster than you can imagine. I haven't tested it on kids' palates, but I wonder if those families who feed their children a broader range of cuisines would find this a winner with kids. Let me know if you find any answers!
