1 head napa cabbage, shredded
1 red pepper, thinly sliced and cut into 1 inch pieces
1 green pepper, thinly sliced and cut into 1 inch pieces
1 cup alfalfa sprout
1 scallion, diced (lighter green and white part only)
1 cup chopped roasted pistachios
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded, cored and membrane removed, diced
1 cup mayonnaise (you can use less 1/2 cup would work too)
1/2 cup honey
1 lime, juiced
1/2 teaspoon coriander seed
1/4 teaspoon green peppercorn
1/4 teaspoon cumin seed
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
salt and pepper

1
Shred the cabbage, discarding the tough outer leaves. Put cabbage into a large bowl.
2
Add the peppers, scallions and sprouts, mix to combine.
3
In a smaller bowl, combine the mayonnaise and honey. Mix well, until it is blended and creamy. Add the lime juice and mix.
4
Using a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder grind together the coriander seeds, green peppercorns and the cumin seeds.
5
Once those are ground, add the cardamom, ginger and red pepper flakes. Grind all the spices together until they form an even textured powder.
6
Add this to the mayonnaise mixture and blend well.
7
Drizzle this over the cabbage, peppers and sprouts. Mix to ensure that all the cabbage is coated. The easiest way to do this is to use your hands.
8
Add the cilantro and the pistachios and toss well.
9
Season with salt and pepper.
10
Let chill for at least 30 minutes. The volume of the salad will be reduced but it will still be delicious!
