Napa Cabbage Salad

This is easily the most-requested salad at family pot lucks.  It is the right amount of sweet, sour and even salty.  The salad goes great with chicken breasts and a cool white wine.

Once the salad is composed, you have about an hour before the salad begins to wilt.  Thus, if you are bringing this to a party, keep the vegetables, noodles, and dressing separate until ready to serve.
