Napa cabbage (a kind of Chinese cabbage), while not as sturdy as regular cabbage, is much more resilient than lettuce, so it lends itself well to picnic salads that have to sit around for a while. This salad has Napa cabbage, radishes, snow peas, toasted slivered almonds, and a sweet sesame ginger mayo dressing. Much of it can be made ahead, and then assembled when you are ready to serve.

Ingredients

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 tsp. cayenne powder
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. toasted sesame oil
1/2 tsp. peeled and minced garlic
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. rice vinegar
2/3 cup lightly packed chopped cilantro
2/3 cup thinly sliced green onions
2/3 cup thinly sliced radishes
6 oz. snow peas
1/3 cup slivered almonds
4 cups coarsely shredded Napa cabbage

Method

01

Toast the almond slivers in a dry nonstick or cast-iron skillet on medium high, stirring frequently until browned. Set aside.
02

Combine cabbage, snow peas, radishes, green onions, cilantro in a large bowl. Can make this step a day or two ahead.
03

In a separate bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, garlic, sesame oil, ginger, and cayenne until the sugar has dissolved. Whisk in the mayonnaise.
04

When ready to serve, gently combine the dressing and almonds with the cabbage mixture.
