Chinese Cabbage Salad
Yield: Makes 6 servings
Prepackaged shredded cabbage salad mix lends even more convenience to this sweet-tart salad. This is also a great make-ahead dish: as it refrigerates overnight, the cabbage softens slightly and the tangy flavors blend even more. Try a crisp Asian pear or juicy seedless red grapes in place of the apple.
Ingredients:
6
tablespoons cider vinegar
1
tablespoon dark sesame oil
1
teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1
large crisp red apple, diced
1
medium (1 to 1-1/4 pounds) head green cabbage or 1 bag (16 ounces) prepackaged shredded cabbage salad mix
2
green onions, thinly sliced
2
tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1
tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Preparation:
1.
Combine vinegar, sugar, oil and ginger in large bowl; stir until sugar dissolves. Stir in apple.
2.
Add cabbage, raisins, onions, cilantro and sesame seeds; gently stir until well combined.
Note
Store cabbage tightly wrapped in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. A one-pound cabbage will yield about 4 cups shredded cabbage.
