Notes

  • If you want to keep the salad for a few days, add the dressing at the last minute. 
  • Garnish with slivered almonds or sesame seeds.
  • Substitute green cabbage or a bag of coleslaw mix for the Napa cabbage. You could also try a bag of broccoli slaw or shredded brussels sprouts for a different taste.
  • Use white vinegar or cider vinegar if you don't have rice vinegar.
  • Change up the veggies in the salad. Add in cucumbers, red cabbage, mushrooms, or snow peas.
  • Replace 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in the dressing with sesame oil for a nutty flavor.
