Napa Cabbage Chopped Salad

A variation on the Bok Choy Salad you see everywhere, this Asian flavored Napa Cabbage Chopped Salad is easier and adds healthy apple. 

Napa Cabbage is a wonder. So I was happy to get some in my last CSA delivery about a month ago. But in the pre-holiday craziness, the cabbage got pushed to the back of the refrigerator and forgotten. Happily, it was still nearly perfect. 

Served for Friendsgiving!

Since I was about to host my first Friendsgiving ever, I decided to use the cabbage to make a Napa Cabbage Chopped Salad . I considered the classic Bok Choy salad, but wanted something a smidge lighter.

Not that you’d overeat at Friendsgiving or anything. 

All chopped!

Everything but the Cabbage got chopped in a mini-food processor. Very handy when you decide to add a new salad to your menu a half hour before your party begins! 

Napa Cabbage

I love the frilly leaves of the Napa Cabbage. This adds a tenderness to any dish but is especially nice raw.

Yes, ‘tis the season to make healthy appealing!

Mmm!
