Instructions

1. 1

   Place the cabbage, cilantro, and apple into a large bowl. Add all of the salad dressing ingredients except the oil to a small jar and whisk. Whisk in the oil to emulsify the dressing. Pour the dressing over the cabbage. Toss to combine and serve. The salad can be served right away with any toppings of choice, or you can let it rest to allow the flavours to meld.
