1 carrot, shredded or cut into matchsticks
1⁄2 cup thinly sliced celery
1⁄2 cup finely diced sweet onion

1. To make the salad, combine the green cabbage, red cabbage, carrot,
celery, onion, cilantro, and peanuts in a large bowl.

2. Toast the sesame seeds in a heavy skillet over high heat for about 2

Cool, then grind them in a blender or food processor and add to the salad.

3. To make the dressing, combine the vinegar, apple juice concentrate,
soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and pepper in a small bowl. Just before
serving, pour the dressing over the salad and toss until evenly distributed.
