A delightful Napa cabbage salad that offers a symphony of flavors and textures. Creamy blue cheese mingles with the crisp cabbage and crunchy almonds, all brought together by a tangy homemade vinaigrette. This salad is a refreshing and sophisticated side dish, perfect for any occasion.

Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the vegetable oil, vinegar, sugar, minced garlic, celery seed, salt, black pepper, and dry mustard. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Seal the jar tightly and shake vigorously until the vinaigrette is well blended and emulsified. (Prep time: 1 minute)

03

Step

Refrigerate the vinaigrette until ready to use. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully. (Chill time: at least 30 minutes)

04

Step

In a large bowl, combine the shredded Napa cabbage, crumbled blue cheese, toasted almond slices, and chopped green onions. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

05

Step

Just before serving, pour the chilled vinaigrette over the salad. (Prep time: 1 minute)

06

Step

Toss gently but thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing. Serve immediately to maintain the cabbage's crispness and the almonds' crunch. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

For best results, toast the almond slices in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant. Watch carefully to prevent burning!
Feel free to adjust the amount of blue cheese to your liking. A sharper blue cheese will add more intensity to the salad.
If you prefer a sweeter salad, you can add a touch more sugar to the vinaigrette. Taste and adjust as needed.
The vinaigrette can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Just be sure to shake well before using.
Consider adding other crunchy elements like sunflower seeds or chopped walnuts for added texture.
For a vegetarian option, ensure that the blue cheese used is made with vegetarian rennet.
