Today I seasoned this Red Cabbage Salad with my Garlic Sesame Dressing, that I most frequently use fo salads. You can replace Garlic with Ginger, OR you may wish to use both. This Cabbage Salad can be a great side dish. Make it a few hours before you serve it, so that Red Cabbage will soften and the salad tastes better.

Tips

How To Grind Sesame Seeds Using A Plastic Bag

Toast the sesame seeds first. I recommend to use a saucepan rather than a frying pan. Place raw sesame seeds in a saucepan, heat over medium heat, and keep shaking and tossing until light golden. The hot saucepan will keep cooking even after being removed from the heat and turn the seeds golden. Allow to cool.
