- 1 cup carrots, grated
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup cucumber, julienned
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the green cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, red bell pepper, cucumber, and cilantro.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until well combined.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the vegetables evenly.
- Add the diced avocado and toss lightly to avoid mashing the avocado.
- Let the salad sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
- This salad can be made ahead of time; however, add the avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
