This salad is best the day it’s prepared although it’s just fine the next day if covered and refrigerated. If you can’t find Napa cabbage at your grocery store, feel free to use any cabbage on hand. Also, toss in any little crunchy vegetables you may have laying around in the crisper: celery, bell pepper, or cucumber would be great here.
You can make the dressing, and keep it in the refrigerator to spread on tofu or veggie sandwiches or to dip veggies in. This dressing is tasty and versatile!
