NAPA SALAD (CHINESE CABBAGE) -- NO RAMEN NOODLES



Napa Salad (Chinese Cabbage) -- No Ramen Noodles image

Napa was on sale this week so I ended up with more than I could readily include in a stir-fry. I decided to search here to see if it could be used in a cole-slaw or salad but all I came with was a dozen variations of the same recipe that called for ramen noodle. I've had that at pot luck dinners and can't stand it. So here is what I came up with. DS#1 added the pecans -- he's got good taste for a 15yo, hasn't he?

Categories     Apple

Time 15m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 head napa cabbage
2 stalks bok choy
1 stalk celery, thinly sliced
2 apples, diced (I recommend a crisp, sweet-tart variety such as Fuji or Gala)
1/2 cup pecans, coarsely broken
1/2 cup canola oil or 1/2 cup other light-flavored oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 pinch celery seed
1/4 teaspoon fresh ginger, very finely minced
1/2 teaspoon prepared brown mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
2 (1 g) packets Splenda sugar substitute

Steps:

  • Wash all produce as necessary.
  • Divide your half-head of napa lengthwise into 3 or 4 sections and knife-shred crosswise to yield strips about 1.5 inches long by 1/4 inch wide.
  • Divide your bok choy stalks lengthwise into 1in sections if necessary and slice thinly. Knife shred the green leaves to match the napa.
  • Mix dressing ingredients and let rest for 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
  • Toss together all salad ingredients with the dressing.
  • Garnish with pecan halves and thin rings of apple if desired.
  • Note -- Other artificial sweeteners, honey, sugar, etc. may be substituted for the Splenda if you prefer.
  • Note -- Can add chunks of cooked ham or other cooked meat to make into a main-dish salad.
