I frequently incorporate this salad into various dishes, treating it like a traditional coleslaw that easily complements almost any meal. This versatile rice dish pairs exceptionally well with a range of grilled meats, including chicken, fish, pork, and beef.

Cabbage Salad Recipe

To craft a quintessential summer salad, gather these essential components:

• Napa or green cabbage
• purple cabbage
• carrots
• green onions
• sliced almonds
• sesame seeds
• Sweet Sesame Dressing

The versatile sweet sesame dressing, identical to the one used in our popular Asian Salmon Salad, elevates this dish with its rich and nutty flavor profile. Why not turn that savory dressing into a marinade for grilled fish or chicken, perfectly complementing the fresh flavors in this salad?

Purple Cabbage Salad

What about using exclusively purple cabbage to create a unique and striking dish? Oh, you bet. While I appreciate the rustic charm of using solely Napa cabbage, I find myself drawn to the visual harmony that arises when pairing its rich green hue with the deep, regal tone of purple. The juxtaposition creates a visually stunning arrangement that is nothing short of captivating.

Napa Cabbage Salad

Combining the two cabbages, carrots, green onions, and almonds in a large mixing bowl creates a harmonious blend of textures and flavors. Toss everything gently to combine.

Gently drizzle the dressing over the salad, then toss it lightly to ensure even coating. Sesame seeds are then generously sprinkled atop.

Serve immediately, or refrigerate until you’re ready to serve. To preserve the crispness and freshness of your greens, consider assembling the salad just before serving if you’ve stored it in the refrigerator for over three to four hours.
