HEALTH & BENEFITS

Napa cabbage, also known as Chinese cabbage, is a great source of vitamins A and C, and it is also low in calories. Almonds and sunflower seeds are good sources of healthy fats, protein, and fiber. However, this salad can be high in sodium, so you may want to use less of the seasoning packet or swap it out for a low-sodium alternative.
