Salad with Chinese cabbage
Description
A simple dish to prepare. The salad looks great on a festive table, but it's also perfect for an everyday meal. It's best to serve the salad immediately so the apples don't darken. Use a cheese with a piquant flavor and tart-sweet apples. You can dress this salad not only with mayonnaise but also with sour cream or natural yogurt. Serve chilled.
