Napa cabbage salad with buttermilk dressing

I still had some Napa cabbage left over from the dumplings and have also been trying to find ways to use up the rest of the buttermilk from sugar cookies I made for Christmas and found this recipe. I didn't have everything for it and I think if I did then the salad would have turned out more flavorful. I liked the dressing, but the salad itself was pretty bland. Oh well, at least I got rid of some ingredients and had a healthy lunch! It also takes no time at all to throw together. I halved this recipe since I was only making lunch for myself, but the recipe posted is the original.
