Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the cashews and sesame seeds onto a baking sheet and toast them for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the red cabbage, napa cabbage, quinoa, carrots, cilantro, and green onions. Toss gently to mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, maple syrup, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. Gradually whisk in olive oil and sesame oil to create a smooth dressing.
  4. Take the slaw from the fridge, add the toasted cashews and sesame seeds, and pour the dressing over. Toss gently to coat and serve immediately.
  5. To store, place leftover dressed slaw in an airtight container for up to 24 hours or undressed slaw for up to 5 days.
