Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1/2 lb sliced deli turkey, julliene sliced
2 lbs green cabbage, thinly shredded
3 stalks celery (thinly sliced)
3 green onions (thinly sliced)
1 cup fried chow mein noodles
1/2 cup dry roasted peanuts
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup salad oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sesame seeds (toasted)

Steps:

Dresssing: Mix together salt, pepper, sugar, sald oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar and sesame seeds.
In large bowl mix turkey, cabbage, celery and onions.
Pour marinade over mixture (optional: refrigerate for 1-2 hours).
Toss with chowmein noodles immediately before serving.

Tips:

Choose the right cabbage: Green cabbage is the most common type used in salads, but you can also use red or Savoy cabbage. For a milder flavor, opt for Savoy cabbage.
Shred the cabbage thinly: This will help it absorb the dressing better and make it easier to eat.
Use a sharp knife or mandoline to slice the cabbage: This will ensure that the slices are even and consistent.
Don't overcrowd the salad: If you're making a large salad, work in batches to avoid overcrowding the bowl. Overcrowding can make it difficult for the dressing to coat all of the ingredients evenly.
Let the salad chill before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly.
Serve the salad immediately: Cabbage salad is best eaten fresh. If you need to store it, keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Turkey cabbage salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful salad, give this one a try!
