I've used napa cabbage in the past for a favorite salad, but that recipe had soy in it and wouldn't work now. So, I started to search the internet. I ended up slightly adapting this recipe from good ol' Martha Stewart and Everyday Food. It's a great side for grilled chicken or pork. You know you can never go wrong with one of Martha's recipes!
Asian Cabbage Slaw
2 tbsp. lime juice
2 tbsp. rice vinegar
1 tbsp. canola oil
2 tsp. sugar
Salt
1/2 small head shredded napa or green cabbage
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
4 green onions, sliced
1 grated carrot
1/2 fresh jalapeno, minced, optional
In a large bowl, combine the lime juice, rice vinegar, oil and sugar; season with salt and whisk.
To dressing, add the cabbage, cilantro leaves, green onions, carrot and jalapeno, if using, and toss to combine.
Tip: If you've never used napa cabbage before, don't be scared by the tiny black dots you often see on its leaves. That's normal!

You can also just slice or chop the cabbage, chop and add green tailed onions, add juice from 2-3 limes, kosher salt, and 1/2 bunch chopped cilantro. Mix well. That's it. It's a very common Spanish salad. You can also use sliced cucumbers and tomatoes instead of cabbage.
