Get a flavorful crunch in every bite with this delicious recipe for Napa Cabbage Salad.

Napa Cabbage salad was new to me. The first time I heard of Napa Cabbage was years ago at a family BBQ. Someone made this delicious salad and I knew I had to have the recipe.

The original recipe called for soy sauce in the dressing. I thought I would switched it up a bit and add something different.

The switch up is what makes this recipe unique!

Salad Ingredients:

• 1 large head of Napa Cabbage
• 2 bunches of green onions
• Two 3 oz packages of Ramen Noodles (any flavor)
• 2 oz of sesame seeds 
• 4 oz sliced almonds or 1/2 cup
• 4 Tablespoons butter

Dressing Ingredient:

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil or canola oil
• 1/4 cup white vinegar
• 1 Tablespoon Sesame Seed Oil (secret ingredient)

Preparing the Salad

Directions:

1. Cut Napa Cabbage in half. Place flat side down and shred. Set aside in a large bowl.
2. Chop green onions. Add to bowl and toss.
3. Melt butter on low heat.
4. Keeping the noodles in the bag crush them up using the palm of your hand.
5. Open package, discard spice packet and put crushed noodles in melted butter.
6. Add almonds and sesame seeds.
7. Stirring constantly until browned.
8. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Preparing the Dressing

How to Store Your Salad

There is a trick to keeping this salad fresh and crisp for several days.

Place the cabbage salad and onion mixture in a garden fresh container, put the nut and crispy noodle topping in a separate container and store the dressing in a container all by itself.

This will keep your salad crisper longer and you will be able to eat it for several days without it going limp and getting soggy.

Going to a BBQ

If you are preparing the salad for a group of people. Combine all ingredients together, toss and serve immediately.

ENJOY!
