Simple summer salad

Asian Cabbage Salad
(AKA: Clean Out The Frig Salad)

1/2 green cabbage, sliced and chopped thinly
1/4 purple cabbage, sliced and chopped thinly
1 can water chestnuts, sliced into thin strips
1 cup almonds, thinly sliced (toasted if desired)
1 medium sweet onion, chopped finely

Dressing (I am guessing here...didn't write down)

1/4 cup sesame oil (or 1/2 sesame oil, 1/2 vegetable oil)
6 T rice vinegar
2 T brown sugar
lots of salt and pepper

Mix it all and enjoy as a side or as a whole meal. It tasted even better on day two, after all the flavors could mix together. I keep thinking of things I would like to add to this; I think I'll add chicken and some fruit next time.
