Crunchy Red Cabbage and Green Apple Sesame Hemp Salad

 Fast, simple, and protein-rich! Crunchy and juicy textures blend with the nutty flavors from the hemp seeds to deliver a deliciously nourishing appetizer or side.

For the salad:
3 cups thinly shredded red cabbage
1 large granny smith apple, shredded
2 tbsp hemp seeds

For the dressing:
1/4 cup tahini
3 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons agave nectar
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 – 1/2 tsp sea salt (to taste)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Whisk dressing ingredients together and set aside.  Dress the shredded vegetables and hemp seeds with dressing; you can use as much as you like, but make sure you coat everything well (approx half a cup).  Serve.

Serves 2-3
Preparation time: about 10-15 minutes
