    Salad with Chinese cabbage and croutons

    And another version of salad with croutons. Of course, it’s tastier with homemade ones, but if you don’t have them, take ready-made ones, only with a compatible taste, for example with herbs.

    General advice.
    The question often arises of how best to cut Chinese cabbage so that the structure of the salad can be felt and the hard centers of the leaves can be used. I admit, I tried a bunch of options and found “mine.”
    Disassemble the head of cabbage into leaves. Next, use a large knife to cut out the white centers. You should get a very elongated triangle. We will always cut them finely, about 0.5 cm. It is better to tear the green part of the leaf with your hands, this way more vitamins are preserved. But if there is no time left for this, we simply cut it into much larger pieces.
    This method is especially convenient when you don’t need the whole head of cabbage in quantity. The remaining part of the fork will stay fresh much longer.

    So, there are a lot of options: satisfying, easy, fast! I hope you will definitely choose the one that suits you.
    Bon appetit! Share recipes with friends on social networks!

Chinese cabbage salad. Chinese cabbage salad is a dish prepared from a mixture of Chinese cabbage with other ingredients.

Chinese cabbage is great for a variety of salads. Firstly, at any time of the year it can easily give a head start to boring white cabbage. Secondly, the most tender leaves are more juicy and pleasant to the taste, especially in winter, when white cabbage becomes drier and coarser. Thirdly, Chinese cabbage goes well with such popular and delicious ingredients as cheese, eggs, chicken, champignons, herbs, nuts and even oranges. Finally, “Pekinga” salad, as it is affectionately called, always looks solemn and festive. And given the fact that the taste of Chinese cabbage creates an excellent culinary combination with olive oil, you can easily move salads from the “delicious” plane to the “not only tasty, but also healthy” plane by replacing harmful and high-calorie mayonnaise with them.

As for seasonings, white pepper is best suited for preparing Chinese cabbage. The use of curry, crushed dry basil leaves, and ground coriander seeds will also add sophistication to the salads.

Let's look at several popular Chinese cabbage salad recipes.

A combination of Chinese cabbage, boiled or fried chicken breast and hard cheese (for example, Parmesan) will be nourishing and healthy. For a more refined taste, add some sesame seeds and season with mayonnaise or olive oil.

An equally hearty Chinese cabbage salad can be prepared with boiled sausage. Chop the cabbage, grate the carrots, chop the sausage, add onion, fresh cucumber and mayonnaise.

The combination of Chinese cabbage and champignons is always successful. To this salad you can add a little onion, a couple of tomatoes, a couple of tablespoons of vinegar, salt and sugar to taste and season with any vegetable oil.

You can make a salad of Chinese cabbage with peanuts. For a more piquant taste, it is recommended to add finely chopped dill, and olive oil is ideal as a dressing.

Fruit salad lovers can mix Chinese cabbage with canned corn, green onions and oranges. As a dressing, you can use a mixture of vegetable oil and soy sauce (50 ml of oil will require 1 teaspoon of soy sauce).

Chinese cabbage goes well with garlic, which you can add chopped to a salad or prepare a garlic dressing. It goes perfectly with a salad of Chinese cabbage, corn, and dill. If you add chopped garlic, this salad can be seasoned with sour cream.
