Instructions

Prep the vegetables (see notes).
Make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients and set aside.
Mix together the salad. In a large bowl, toss together the cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, scallions, the currants, and the red chile (if using) with the dressing until evenly coated.
Pack the bowls. If serving right away, top with the tamari-roasted pumpkin seeds or regular pumpkin seeds. If meal prepping, divide the salad mixture between five meal prep containers. When ready to eat, top with 2 tablespoons of pumpkin seeds.

Notes

To speed up the prepping, you can use a food processor with the slicing or shredding attachment or a mandolin slicer to finely slice the cabbage, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts. Don’t have either? A very sharp knife will work!
