Fresh orange juice and ginger brighten the Asian flavors of the dressing in this Chinese Cabbage Salad. When selecting mandarin oranges at the store, opt for ones that are a bit firm to slightly soft, with a noticeable citrus fragrance.
Ingredients
- 6 mandarin oranges or clementines
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce or tamari sauce
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 2 teaspoons pure cane sugar
- 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
- ½ teaspoon Asian chili paste (sambal oelek)
- 2 cups shredded red cabbage
- 2 cups shredded kale
- 2 cups packaged fresh julienned carrots
- 2 cups bite-size strips red sweet peppers
- ½ cup unsalted dry-roasted peanuts, finely chopped
- ¼ cup sliced green onions
Instructions
- Peel, seed, and section mandarin oranges over a bowl to catch juice; reserve 2 tablespoons of the juice.
- In an extra-large bowl whisk together the reserved orange juice, vinegar, soy sauce, tahini, sugar, ginger, and chili paste. Add orange sections, cabbage, kale, carrots, sweet peppers, ¼ cup of the peanuts, and the green onions; toss to coat.
- Top servings with the remaining ¼ cup peanuts.

(5 from 5 votes)This was absolutely FABULOUS! I had to use silken tofu and sunflower seeds because I’d run out of tahini. I also added raisins, English cucumber, and scallions. I’ll make this forever!!
I made this and it is delicious! I was "generous" with the veggies, so I went ahead and doubled the sauce. I added some raisins too. This was so good! I will make this the day before from now on, it was great on day 2 :) Debbie in WA Ü
This was my first FOK recipe. I made a few minor adjustments replacing lemon juice for vinegar, fresh squeezed regular orang juice, , toasted almonds instead of peanuts and I forgot to add the hot spice. It was amazing. Delicious, yet light. A new favorite.
This was a perfect supper salad for a hot summer evening
Fantastic!!! Whole family loved it
