2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, from one lime
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce (use gluten-free if needed)
2 tablespoons honey
2½ tablespoons sugar
2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1-inch square piece fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
4 cups chopped Napa cabbage or shredded coleslaw mix (I like to toss in a little shredded red cabbage for color)
1 cup prepared shredded carrots
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced into bite-sized pieces
1 small English cucumber, halved lengthwise, seeded and thinly sliced
1 cup cooked and shelled edamame
2 medium scallions, thinly sliced
½ cup loosely packed chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • For the dressing, combine all of the ingredients except for the cilantro in a blender and process until completely smooth. Add the cilantro and blend for a few seconds until the cilantro is finely chopped. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • For the salad, combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and toss to combine. If serving right away, drizzle the peanut dressing over top and toss; otherwise, serve the dressing on the side so the salad doesn't get soggy.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, crisp napa cabbage. Look for heads that are firm and have tightly packed leaves.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly so that it will absorb the dressing more easily.
  • Toast the peanuts before adding them to the salad. This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Use a sharp knife to mince the ginger. This will help to release its flavor and prevent it from becoming stringy.
  • Adjust the amount of dressing to your liking. If you prefer a lighter dressing, use less oil or vinegar. If you like a more flavorful dressing, add more.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. If you are chilling the salad, be sure to let it come to room temperature before serving so that the flavors can meld.

Conclusion:

Napa cabbage salad with peanuts and ginger is a delicious and healthy salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is light and refreshing, with a sweet and tangy dressing. The peanuts and ginger add a nice crunch and flavor to the salad. This salad is also very easy to make, and it can be made ahead of time. Enjoy this delicious and healthy salad any time of year!
