Napa Cabbage, Strawberry and Mint Salad


This is my first time using Napa cabbage and I’m going to admit, not without some shame, that for a long time I thought it was just another type of lettuce. Now that I’ve done some experimenting, I can tell you that Napa cabbage makes great salads. It is especially perfect for shredding and has a sweeter taste and more delicate texture than regular cabbage. Paired with strawberries and dressed in nutty argan oil and apple cider vinegar, it is delightfully fruity or maybe fruitily delightful? Either way, it’s great on a summer day.

Shredded Napa Cappage, Strawberry and Mint Salad Recipe

4 servings

2 cups shredded Napa cabbage
2 cups chopped strawberries
1/2 cup chopped mint
Sesame seeds, optional

Dressing
2 tablespoons argan or sesame oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Sea salt, to taste

In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, strawberries and mint. In a smaller bowl, whisk the oil, vinegar and salt. Add the dressing to the salad and toss to coat.

Serve sprinkled with sesame seeds, if you wish.

    I just Love Napa Cabbage! It works so well, it holds up better than lettuce for most dishes and isn't as tough as most cabbages. Your salad looks great!
