Chop garlic and allow it to sit as you prepare the rest of the salad ingredients. This will trigger an enzyme reaction that helps to unlock the healthy compounds in garlic.
Thinly slice cabbage, apple, fennel and carrots (this can be done in food processor if desired) and place in salad bowl.
Top salad with chopped cilantro and walnuts (if using).
Place all dressing ingredients in jar with a lid (including the garlic). With lid on the jar, shake to combine, then pour on top of salad.
Toss salad and enjoy with your favourite protein.
