Napa Slaw
Serves: 4 to 6
Nothing compares with fresh, raw vegetables, especially dressed with vibrant Asian flavors. Something about this mouthwatering combination is downright thrilling to the palate. Served in smaller portions, this slaw makes a stimulating appetizer as part of a multicourse meal. It should be eaten right away; but even wilted the following day, it still retains a lot of its original appeal.
