Asian Inspired Napa Cabbage Salad
- Serves 6-8
Author Notes
I thought we are going to have a sushi dinner with friend, they ask that I'll bring a salad. So I thought I should do something more suitable in flavor than regular green salad. Actually I read the invitation wrong and we were not having sushi. Still though we had a lot of food on the table there wasn't any salad half way into dinner. So this with sushi or not, this is just great, fresh easy salad everybody enjoys. —Cordelia
