This vibrant Napa cabbage salad is a refreshing alternative to traditional coleslaw, offering a lighter and more refined crunch. By using Chinese cabbage, also known as Napa cabbage, you get a delicate texture that beautifully absorbs the tangy dressing. The combination of peppery radishes and crisp celery adds layers of flavour and a satisfying snap to every mouthful, making it a perfect accompaniment to grilled dishes or a light lunch.

As a versatile vegetarian side dish, this recipe relies on a homemade buttermilk dressing infused with fresh chives and shallots for a savoury depth. It is naturally low in calories compared to mayo-heavy salads, providing a healthy and bright addition to your recipe repertoire. Serve it chilled alongside crusty bread or as part of a seasonal spread for a simple yet sophisticated vegetable dish.
