Chinese Cabbage Salad

There are quite a few variations to this recipe. I don't make very many recipes more than once, but I definitely make variations of this recipe a few times a year. It's my favorite cabbage recipe. I found this recipe in Boise Schools Presents: A Collection of Culinary Delights, courtesy of Judy Shipman. The only thing I did differently is add some soy sauce to the dressing. I'll post it as written, but in my opinion the soy sauce is the key to the entire dressing. Serving size is estimated.
