Ono Napa Salad

This one came from Joan Biddison. She taught us how to make this. It's truly delicious even a day later but the noodles get a bit soggy. It's a good summer salad for dinner recipe.

Napa Salad Ono!

1 large chopped head napa cabbage

Salad Dressing

Homemade salad dressing is super easy and much better than that guar gum crap you get in the store. If you have everything on hand then it's even more easy. These are a few we use around here.

Low-fat Salad Dressing

1/4 cup lowfat yogurt (Greek yogurt tastes best)
2 TBS lowfat mayo
2 TBS skim milk
1/4 tsp herbs of choice (or Mrs Dash)
sprinkle of salt, granulated garlic, onion

Mix well. Let chill.

Blue Cheese Dressing

1/4 cup each sour cream, mayo
1/8 cup water
1 TBS white vinegar
1 crushed clove garlic
salt, pepper

Whisk all together in bowl. Add 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese.
