Provided by Rita1652

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup red cabbage, sliced very thinly
6 snow pea pods, quickly blanched then cut into matchsticks
1 cucumber, cut into matchsticks
1 red pepper, cut in matchsticks
1 shallots, sliced very thinly or 1 scallion, sliced into matchsticks
1 stalk celery, sliced into matchsticks
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 slice ginger (quarter size piece)
1 clove garlic
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon peanut butter
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1/3 cup light olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 pinch red pepper flakes
salt and pepper
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Put all salad ingredients into a bowl.
  • Into a blender add all of the dressing ingredients and blend till creamy smooth.
  • It will be on the thin side.
  • If not using rice vinegar use less of what you do use because I find rice vinegar is milder.
  • Add to salad and toss to coat,chill till ready to serve final toss& then top with seeds and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: For this Asian cabbage salad recipe, choose a fresh, crisp head of green or Napa cabbage. Look for one that is heavy for its size and has tightly packed leaves.
  • Shred the cabbage finely: For a light and refreshing salad, use a mandoline or sharp knife to shred the cabbage finely. This will help the dressing evenly coat the cabbage and make it easier to eat.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to cabbage, add other vegetables to your salad such as carrots, bell peppers, cucumbers, or radishes. This will add color, texture, and flavor to the dish.
  • Make a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what makes this Asian cabbage salad so delicious. Use a combination of rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and ginger to create a sweet and tangy dressing that will complement the cabbage and other vegetables.
  • Chill the salad before serving: For the best flavor, chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the cabbage to soften slightly.

Conclusion:

This Asian cabbage salad is a light, refreshing, and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Experiment with different vegetables and dressings to create a salad that you will love.
