Method
In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and toasted sesame seeds.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and apple cider vinegar.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The vinegar and oil look evenly blended. Whisk again just before dressing the cabbage if they separate.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to combine.
Add the dense beans, salt, and pepper to the bowl and stir until everything is well coated with the dressing.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Beans and cabbage have a light, even dressing coating. Fold the beans through gently to keep them intact.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The cabbage softens slightly while retaining crunch. Cover closely so the salad does not pick up refrigerator odors.
Just before serving, give the salad a good stir and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The chilled salad looks evenly coated after stirring. Taste once more after chilling, when the dressing has settled.
Serve the salad chilled, garnished with additional toasted sesame seeds if desired.
