With shredded apples and carrots, chopped pecans and a simple vinaigrette, this vibrant red cabbage salad is crunchy and looks like a rainbow in a bowl.

This tangy, Thai-inspired chopped salad is anything but ordinary. Chopped chicken, cabbage, carrots ... and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Reject heads that look wilted, limp or bruised. Stored unwashed in a plastic bag in the salad drawer of the fridge, Chinese cabbage should keep well for a few weeks. Only freeze crisp, young cabbage.
