Directions

1. Make the vinaigrette: Add all ingredients to a mason jar or any type of container with a lid. Shake vigorously until combined. Adjust salt and pepper if needed.

2. Use a melon baller to scoop balls from the melon half and add to a large bowl.

3. Add chopped Napa cabbage and diced cucumber and toss to combine. Drizzle with the vinaigrette, toss to coat well, then serve immediately.

Note: The garlic flavor will get stronger the longer the vinaigrette sits.
