Instructions
Thinly slice the Napa cabbage and place it in a large mixing bowl.

Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise, remove the seeds with a spoon, slice it into half-moons, and add to the bowl.
Chop the green onions and fresh cilantro, then add them to the salad mixture.
Chop the almonds and lightly toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add almonds to the salad bowl.
