Crunchy Rainbow Salad with Peanut Dressing
Updated August 2025
This colorful salad is not only pretty to look at, but it is fresh, healthy and delicious.
Feel free to swap out the Napa cabbage with finely sliced kale, and use any vegetables you have on hand; you could even add mango to this salad and it would be delicious. It is very forgiving and open to substitutions.
This recipe makes a generous amount of dressing – use leftovers to make a cold soba noodle salad. To make this a complete meal, add fried tofu, roasted salmon, or grilled chicken.
