Chinese Cabbage Salad [vegetarian]
www.tastesofhealth.eu
A few weeks ago we had some friends over for dinner. I was planning to make a Peking
duck for the main course, and I knew what dessert I was going to make, but somehow I
was stuck with a starter. I wanted to make a light salad without any meat or seafood, as
having duck for main was already very meat-y. And this was when I realized that I had
probably never made a Chinese salad fulfilling these requirements. I looked through
some books and finally, I found a recipe that seemed just right.
In the book, a regular cabbage was used, so it had to be blanched after it was shredded.
I decided to use a raw Chinese cabbage instead. The salad was very refreshing and light,
just as I wanted it to be. And it was indeed a perfect starter for Peking duck!
