I like all types of salads, even coleslaw as well. I like when the cabbage has soaked up the dressing and everything is just perfect. Makes the perfect side dish for those BBQ nights. I found this recipe on Martha Stewart's website for Shredded Napa Cabbage Salad with Radishes, Golden Raisins, and Dijon Dressing. I like this recipe a lot because most coleslaw salads have a mayonnaise base dressing and I'm anti-mayonnaise, so the dijon dressing was a winner in my book. I made a few adjustments like usual. First of all I've been a total bum and didn't want to shred napa cabbage, so I picked up a bag of regular cabbage already shredded and mixed in some broccoli slaw. I found a white balsamic vinegar because I couldn't find white-wine vinegar.
Just like I couldn't find golden raisins, so I used normal Thompson seedless raisins. Other then that this recipe was very delicious with the adjustments I made. It was sweet, crunchy, tangy with a bit of heat. It was so good the next day. I had it with teriyaki chicken, baked sweet potato and baked beans. YUM! I will be making this salad again and again!
This salad was absolutely beautiful. Love the grainy mustard!

I love any slaw recipes! The regular cabbage had more crunch than the napa, and was cheaper...two good reasons for me to use regular cabbage. And, I hated radishes as a child, but they appear so much in recipes, I tried them sliced very thin in a salad and they disappeared but gave the salad more punch. So I'll use the radishes here, too.
I love radishes! I hear they are really good roasted but I haven't done it yet. They are just too good raw.
