Roughly chop cashew nuts and toast them for 5 minutes in a skillet without oil until golden brown.
Finely slice white and red cabbage using a knife. Add the sliced cabbage together with the carrot, cilantro, scallion, chili, cashew nuts, and sesame seeds in a large bowl.
Combine all of the dressing ingredients in a glass jar and shake well or whisk them together in a small bowl.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to combine!
Notes
Miso paste: If you don't have miso paste at home, simply season the dressing with a pinch of salt. Miso paste does add an umami flavor, but it's not necessary to buy a jar just for this one recipe.Creamy Dressing: If you like a creamy dressing, add 2 tablespoons of mayo or peanut butter. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
