3. With the lid on the jar tightly, shake it
4. Add the dressing to the salad and toss. Adjust to taste.

Tips:

• To make this a complete meal, add cooked, shredded chicken or cubed tofu. For a little crunch, add a sprinkle of toasted, sliced almonds.
• Use a bread knife to thinly slice the napa cabbage.
• If the apples are looking brown after chopping, squeeze a little lime juice over the chopped apples (and mix) to preserve the color.
