This Asian-inspired cabbage salad, packed with vitamins A and C, and full of antioxidants and fiber, combines a half head of thinly sliced Chinese cabbage and leek with a quick vinaigrette prepared with peanut oil and goji berries. You can add some roasted sesame seeds or peanuts for extra crunchiness.
|
- Finely shred the Chinese cabbage and radicchio. Cut the leek in half lengthwise and wash in water, being careful to check all the layers for hidden dirt. Drain and thinly sliced the leeks. Place the cabbage, radicchio, and leek in a large bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Meanwhile, make the dressing. In a glass jar, add in peanut oil, sunflower oil, rice vinegar, soya sauce, honey, goji berries, salt and pepper. Put the lid on the jar and shake until well blended. Refrigerate for about an hour. Shake well before using. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat. Sprinkle some roasted sesame seeds over if using.
Colorful, tasty and healthy! A wonderful salad.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Cheers,
Rosa

ReplyDeleteOh, my, this is one gorgeous salad, Angie! Perfect antidote to all the holiday sweets!
ReplyDeletePS...I think you could use dried cranberries in my cranberry bread. You could keep them dry or reconstitute them. Fresh cranberries are so tart that you might need to adjust the sugar in the loaf...or just plan on it being a dessert :) Happy New Year! Thanks for all the sweet comments this year...much appreciate all your visits!!! xo
Super healthy and yummy. Perfect beginning of a new year.

Happy New Year! And a Great 2014!
I'm intrigued by the goji berry vinaigrette, how creative! My Mom used to use goji berries in soups and I find it a bit odd. I love this way of using them. Gorgeous salad Angie. Happy New Year, my friend. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is really simple enough to make, and I like the sound of it! Ingredients are just simple and the recipe is easy enough for even non-cooking folks like me!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this tasty and flavorful salad recipe....I am sure it tastes as awesome and colorful as it looks! :-)

ReplyDeleteIt's winter and I turn to cabbage. You make this salad so beautiful, I need it on my dinner table. Love the crunch. Happy 2014, Angie! May it bring magic.
ReplyDeleteAngie, I have a head of cabbage in my fridge ready to be cooked up with some carrots and shiitaki mushrooms. It won't be nearly as pretty as your salad though. Looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteI can't get enough of cabbage this year. Time to make a salad. Yours looks fantastic! Thanks, Angie! Happy New Year :) ela

ReplyDeleteThe salad looks gorgeous and very refreshing. So nice to see a salad after over a month of indulgence. We love goji berries in our house. Mom adds it to her chicken soup and it's so good.
Hi Angie, after all that glutinous eating over the holidays a salad like this is the perfect solution. The Goji berries sound like a great addition too. Happy New Year to you.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great salad! I don't remember ever having used uncooked leeks which is weird since I love leeks, but I've always cooked them. I've never had goji berries either. Thanks for sharing this! Hope your new year is off to a great start!

Such a pretty salad, Angie. I haven't seen goji berries in our markets but I heard they have a taste similar of dried cherries which I do have. I'll try using them in your salad. I hope this new year will be a good one for you.
ReplyDeleteLove the combination of flavors and textures,Angie! beautiful dish!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful, colorful salad.
ReplyDeleteVery colorful salad, I am always amazed at the variety of ingredients you use, now these goji berries, I don't know where I can find them now..

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, what a beautiful salad!! I love the goji vinaigrette idea.. Happy to have found you!
ReplyDeleteI could eat the entire bowl right by myself. I love all of the ingredients in this. I love cabbage!!
