1 package tofu (baked and marinated; diced)
1 cup almonds (coarsely chopped)

2 tablespoons sesame oil
1⁄2 cup olive oil

Instructions
Cook the brown rice, using the coconut milk plus 2 cups of water. Let cool.
Mix together the cabbage, kale and carrots, tofu, tamari almonds and cooked brown rice.
In a bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients and toss with the slaw.
This dish will keep for a few days in the refrigerator.
You can make a lower carb version of this slaw by omitting the rice cooked in coconut milk. It will still be a wonderful and filling salad!
