Chinese Chicken Salad with Napa Cabbage
I have made this every year for the past 5 years. Its SO good and always perfect timing with our CSA box! I also have never had all the ingredients on hand, I have modified something almost every time and its still delicious! I’ve added kohlrabi, diced salad turnips and more!
