Creamy, Tangy Napa Cabbage Slaw
If you’re looking for a fresh, crisp, and downright irresistible side dish, this Napa cabbage slaw is the answer. It’s creamy, tangy, and packed with crunch. This slaw is anything but ordinary.
Ingredients
- 1 TBSP fresh lemon zest plus 5 tablespoons lemon juice from 2 to 3 lemons
- 6 green onions thinly sliced
- 1 TBSP soy sauce or Tamari
- 1 medium Napa cabbage 1½ to 2 pounds, cored and thinly sliced
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- ¼ cup almond butter
- 1 TBSP Dijon mustard plus more to taste
- 8 ounces snap peas thinly sliced lengthwise
- 3 large or 6 small radishes cut into matchsticks
- ¼ cup sliced or slivered almonds
Instructions
- Chop and smash the lemon zest, half the green onions, and the soy sauce together into a coarse, wet paste. In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, 1 TBSP lemon juice, 1 tsp salt, and the onion-soy mixture. Massage with your hands until the cabbage is slightly wilted.
- Prepare the dressing: In a liquid measuring cup, stir together the remaining ¼ cup lemon juice, the almond butter, and mustard. Add water until thick but pourable (about 3 TBSP, depending on nut butter brand). Season to taste with salt and pepper and another tsp of mustard, if desired.
- Add the snap peas, radishes, and remaining green onion to the cabbage, then stir in enough dressing to lightly coat. (Leftover dressing will keep for up to a week; thin with water as needed.) Then add almonds and toss to combine. Season the slaw to taste with salt and pepper.
