My Favorite Spicy Cabbage Salad
This is one of those salads that can be tweaked to your tastes. A little more of this a little less of that and it’s perfect. I’ve given my basic recipe but feel free to prepare this salad how you wish. I also love this cabbage salad as a slaw for tacos. I use this one for pork, chicken and grilled fish tacos. Yum! Delete cukes and replace with thin sliced apples for fish tacos.
Ingredients
For the salad:
1 head of Napa cabbage, halved and thinly sliced
- 1 cucumber peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 bunch of cilantro, coarsely chopped
- 1 bunch of green onions, thinly sliced
- Dressing:
- 1/2 – 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1-2 dashes Sriracha (or more to taste)(Sriracha is Asian hot sauce and can be found in most markets)
- 1 teaspoon fine ground sugar or dash of agave syrup
- 1/2 lime juiced (or more to taste depending how juicy the lime)
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha, sugar and lime juice. Toss the cabbage in a large bowl with salt and pepper. Then toss the cabbage with the dressing and plate. I like to put the salad on a platter and then layer with cucumbers, cilantro and green onions. It makes a beautiful presentation.
If making this for one or two, I place dressed cabbage in salad bowls or plates and layer with cucumbers, cilantro and green onion. I have a friend who doesn’t like cilantro, This salad is just as delish without the cilantro. To substitute cilantro, toss in some sliced radishes or shredded carrots.
