Napa Cabbage Salad is a wonderful winter salad, because the cabbage is available all year round and is very reasonable when the other greens get pricey.
When I originally made this recipe, it called for the soup base package to be used to flavour the salad dressing. This version uses basic ingredients to flavour the dressing and provides a fresher flavour. Enjoy!
