Chinese cabbage is a tasty and healthy vegetable that can be included in a variety of dishes to support health. Salads with Beijing cabbage are very useful for health.
Chinese cabbage is rich in vitamin C, which supports the immune system and skin health. In addition, it contains vitamins K, A, E and group B, as well as minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium and phosphorus. Chinese cabbage contains antioxidants such as beta-carotene and lutein, which protect cells from free radical damage and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
Studies have shown that eating Chinese cabbage can reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke due to its antioxidant and phytonutrient content. The editors of the Good News site have prepared an excellent recipe for Beijing cabbage salad:
- 1 medium head of Beijing cabbage;
- 1 carrot;
- 1 red onion;
- 1 red pepper;
- 1/4 cup of olive oil;
- 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar;
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste;
- Sesame seeds (optional, for decoration).
Cut the Chinese cabbage into thin strips or pieces. Put her in a large bowl. Cut carrots, onions and peppers into small cubes or straw strips. Add the chopped vegetables to the Chinese cabbage in a bowl. In another small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss well to distribute the dressing evenly. Garnish the salad with sesame seeds if you like. Serve the salad cool. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to an hour before serving, so that the flavors thoroughly test each other. This salad will make a great addition to any table or be a delicious addition to any lunch or dinner!
