Asian Cabbage Chopped Salad

This Asian cabbage chopped salad is a fresh and simple salad consisting of romaine lettuce, napa cabbage, green cabbage, carrots, celery, green onions, shredded carrot, and lots of cilantro then it’s tossed together with a sweet and tangy Asian vinaigrette and topped with cashews, almonds, sesame seeds. At the last minute, I baked some wonton strips to add an extra layer of crunch and I’m so glad I did. I absolutely loved this salad and so did my husband and kids. This Asian cabbage chopped salad is very flavorful, delicious, and paired nicely with the Korean flanken short ribs and garlic rice I served it with.
