Ingredients

Directions

  1. Wash the heads of Bibb and Boston lettuce thoroughly, then pat dry with paper towels or a salad spinner.
  2. Separate the lettuce leaves and tear them into bite-sized pieces, placing them in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Slice the Chinese cabbage stalks thinly and add them to the bowl with the lettuce.
  4. Drain the canned bamboo shoots and rinse them briefly under cold water to remove excess brine.
  5. Slice the bamboo shoots into thin strips and add them to the salad bowl.
  6. Rinse the bean sprouts and add them to the bowl for extra crunch.
  7. Pour the soy french dressing over the vegetables just before serving.
  8. Toss the salad gently but thoroughly to ensure all leaves and vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
  9. Serve immediately on individual plates or in a large serving bowl.
