Napa, or Chinese, cabbage (not to be confused with bok choy) has a delicate taste and tender, ruffly leaves. Here one head is divided into two salads—one with Asian-style ingredients and the other with apples and caraway.

Ingredients

　　2 tablespoons rice-wine vinegar (unseasoned)

　　1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

　　1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger

　　3 tablespoons vegetable oil, such as safflower

　　1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

　　Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

　　1/2 head napa cabbage (1/2 pound), cored and cut into bite-size pieces

　　1 red bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, thinly sliced

　　1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro, plus sprigs for garnish

　　1/4 cup coarsely chopped roasted unsalted peanuts
