    TIP: Wanting to serve this salad all week? 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.
