asian cabbage salad

In a follow up to the last post, I thought I'd share the salad recipe, which is super-easy to make.

The original recipe called for a homemade ginger-sesame vinaigrette, which I thought sounded delicious. So I gathered my ingredients, whipped up the dressing, did a quick taste test and immediately threw it out. I don't know if it was just me, but I thought the flavor of the dressing was no good. Luckily, I had purchased Light Asian Toasted Sesame dressing from Kraft just in case. Phew!

The recipe also called for cara cara oranges, but I used canned mandarin oranges instead. And it was delectable!

I made enough for two, which only used a very small portion of the cabbage and oranges. But I liked this salad enough that I threw another one together for my lunch the next day.

Asian Cabbage Salad:

Napa cabbage, sliced thin
Purple cabbage, sliced thin
Mandarin oranges, drained
Whole almonds, chopped

Told you it was easy.
