1 cabbage, head of
4 green onions, chopped with tops
1 broccoli, head of (optional)
3 carrots (if desired...adds nice color)
1 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
1 cup sunflower seeds

1
Toast your seeds and nuts and set aside.
2
Shred cabbage if not buying store bought shredded.
3
Shred broccoli and carrots (if desired).
4

5
For the Dressing:
6
Combine Olive Oil, Vinegar, Sugar, Salt, Pepper and Spices.

Before serving, pour the dressing on the cabbage mixture. Add the nuts/seeds. Also consider adding cooked chicken if desired (my favorite way of eating it).
9
Note: Regular white vinegar is fine.
10
Note: I'm guessing on the amount of Poultry and Mexican Blend because I just add a little at a time until it tastes the way I want. In the past, I have also substituted portions of the sugar out for Xylitol and/or Stevia with good results.

Note: This recipe could probably serve 8 people as their main meal if you add chicken. Its a very large recipe.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
