Spicy Napa Cabbage Slaw with Coriander Dressing

This spicy Napa cabbage slaw is a vibrant, vegan side dish that brings a refreshing crunch to any meal. Combining the mild sweetness of Chinese leaf cabbage with a zingy dressing of rice vinegar, fresh ginger, and fiery serrano chilli, it offers a sophisticated balance of heat and acidity. The addition of aromatic coriander and crisp spring onions ensures every mouthful is packed with bright, clean flavours.

Quick to prepare and naturally light, this healthy salad is an excellent accompaniment to Asian-inspired dishes, plant-based burgers, or even as a filling for soft tacos. By letting the vegetables marinate for ten minutes before serving, the dressing lightly pickles the cabbage, creating a delicious texture that remains crisp yet tender. It is a versatile recipe that is perfect for summer barbecues or as a simple midweek lunch.
