Description

This Chinese cabbage salad is a wonderful combination of crunchy vegetables, sweet pineapple and savory bacon. I especially like to make it when I need something quick and still want to put something special on the table. The mung bean and soybean sprouts add a fresh touch, while the cashews provide a great crunch. The sweet and sour Asian sauce rounds it all off perfectly. Ideal for a light lunch or as a side dish for grilling. Can also be prepared well in advance!
