PROS

Betsy’s Chinese Coleslaw is a colorful and tasty side dish that is easy to make.

It has a satisfying crunch that pairs well with any main dish, and it is also affordable, with simple and easy-to-find ingredients.

CONS

This salad can be quite high in sodium and calories, especially if you use the seasoning packet that comes with the ramen noodles.

Additionally, it may not be suitable for those with nut allergies due to the slivered almonds.

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.
