Use That Chinese Cabbage for a Tasty Holiday Salad

Happy Memorial Day, and it looks like it's going to be another hot one. If you are looking for some cool picnic fare that uses some of the fresh produce we received at the first pickup, you might want to try this tasty and quick Chinese Cabbage salad. It’s even red (dried cherries), white (onions), and blue (blueberries).
