Asian Napa Cabbage Slaw

Submitted by Gerry sans Sanddunes

"The TORONTO STAR'S Marion Kane comes up with another good one "tweaked" from Chef Ming Tsai's repertoire. She suggests it as "a main course salad topped with strips of grilled or roasted chicken or steak that has been basted with teriyaki, hoisin, oyster or soy sauce." I enjoyed it on its own."

I enjoyed the combination of vegetables in this salad. The dressing was a bit salty for my taste. I would reduce the fish sauce a bit next time. Lovely looking salad.
