Fresh orange juice and ginger brighten the Asian flavors of the dressing in this Chinese Cabbage Salad. When selecting mandarin oranges at the store, opt for ones that are a bit firm to slightly soft, with a noticeable citrus fragrance.

(5 from 4 votes)I made this and it is delicious! I was "generous" with the veggies, so I went ahead and doubled the sauce. I added some raisins too. This was so good! I will make this the day before from now on, it was great on day 2 :) Debbie in WA Ü
This was my first FOK recipe. I made a few minor adjustments replacing lemon juice for vinegar, fresh squeezed regular orang juice, , toasted almonds instead of peanuts and I forgot to add the hot spice. It was amazing. Delicious, yet light. A new favorite.
This was a perfect supper salad for a hot summer evening
Fantastic!!! Whole family loved it
