Video Tutorial

What you'll need

• Napa Cabbage. If none is available, regular cabbage can be used instead. Just make sure you cut it into very thin strips.
• Corn. I usually use canned corn. You can also use fresh corn, if you prefer.
• Cucumbers. This ingredient adds a nice crunch to the salad. Any cucumber can be used here.
• Dill. I think it's an important ingredient and it adds a lot of flavor, so I wouldn't suggest skipping it. Fresh dill should be used.
• Vegan Mayo. You can make it yourself (it's so easy) or use store bought mayo.
• Salt. I used pink salt, but you can also use regular table salt if that's what you have on hand. You will need to decrease the amount a bit though because table salt tends to be saltier than pink salt.

How to Make this Napa Cabbage Salad

1. Wash the cabbage and slice the leaves thinly. Place the strips into a large mixing bowl.

2. Add the corn, diced cucumbers, chopped fresh dill, vegan mayo, and pink salt to the same bowl.

3. Mix everything together well. Serve immediately.

Pro Tips

• Only make what you will use. This delicious salad, unfortunately, does not store well. So plan to make only as much as you'll be eating. Since the salad is quick to prepare, you can easily put it together whenever you feel like enjoying it.
• Use fresh dill. Since this is an important flavor in this Napa Cabbage Salad with Corn, I would strongly suggest using fresh herbs. Both the aroma and flavor of fresh dill will elevate this dish a lot.
• Hull out the seeds from the cucumber. If your cucumber has large seeds, remove them for the best texture in this salad. You can use a spoon to scoop them out and avoid the texture of the hard and slimy seeds.

Flavor Variations

There are lots of ways to change up this versatile salad. You can add some things or remove them. Here are a few suggestions:

• Add more vegetables. This cabbage salad would also go great with diced peppers, green peas, tomatoes, or shredded carrots added in.
• Give it some zing. Add a splash of white vinegar for some acidity, or a little cayenne pepper or hot sauce for spice.
• Make it into a meal. If you want to make this cabbage salad into a more filling meal, add diced tofu, cold pasta, edamame, or black beans to the dish.

This Napa Cabbage Salad with Corn is an easy, but delicious, cold salad dish that you'll find yourself preparing again and again. From the crunchy texture to the sweet creamy dressing and fresh flavor, this salad is just so good. It's also easy to prepare with common ingredients, so perfect when you just need something simple. I hope you and your family love this yummy vegan Napa Cabbage Salad with Corn as much as I do.
