Topping Napa cabbage and radishes with a distinctively tangy dressing results in a salad that’s as lively as it is simple.
  • 1/2 cup well-shaken buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons minced shallot
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped chives
  • 1 pound Napa cabbage, cored and thinly sliced crosswise (4 cups)
  • 6 radishes, diced
  • 2 celery ribs, thinly sliced diagonally
  • Whisk together buttermilk, mayonnaise, vinegar, shallot, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl until sugar has dissolved, then whisk in chives.
  • Toss cabbage, radishes, and celery with dressing.
