Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 small clove garlic, minced
Zest and juice of 1 lime
2 tablespoons rice-wine vinegar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/4 cup hot chili oil
Salt
3 cups (1/2 small head) Napa cabbage, very thinly sliced
1/2 red, yellow, orange bell pepper, stem and seeds removed, very thinly sliced
3 scallions, white and pale-green parts only, cut into 2-inch lengths, julienned
1/3 cup peeled, very thinly sliced, 1/2-by-2-inch-pieces daikon (about 2 ounces)
1/4 cup trimmed, very thinly sliced snow peas (about 3 ounces)
1/4 bunch chives, snipped into 2-inch lengths
juice of 1 lime

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, zest and juice of the lime, vinegar, soy sauce, and chili oil. Season with salt; set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, toss together the cabbage, pepper slices, scallions, daikon, snow peas, and chives. Pour the dressing over the slaw, toss to combine, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: For the best flavor and texture, use a firm head of green or red cabbage.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly: This will help the cabbage absorb the dressing and make it easier to eat.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Add other vegetables to your salad, such as carrots, celery, tomatoes, and cucumbers. This will make the salad more colorful and nutritious.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to come together and make the salad more refreshing.
