Asian Chicken Salad With the Yummiest Dressing
INGREDIENTS
Salad:
- 4 to 5 cups finely shredded Napa cabbage, about 1/2 of medium cabbage (see note)
- 3 cups diced cooked chicken (see note)
- 1 cup finely shredded red cabbage, about 1/4 of medium cabbage (see note)
- 1 cup matchstick carrots (see note)
- 1 cup julienned red pepper
- 2 green onions, white and green parts finely chopped
- ¼ to ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Dressing:
- ¼ cup unseasoned rice vinegar
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter (see note)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- Pinch of salt and pepper
Topping:
- Chow mein noodles, for topping
- Toasted sesame seeds, for topping
INSTRUCTIONS
Pour the dressing evenly over the salad and toss until evenly combined.
Top with chow mein noodles and toasted sesame seeds (optional) and serve immediately.
NOTES
storebought matchstick carrots work, too (which is what I use).
Chicken: I prefer the chicken to be diced fairly small for this recipe. Peanut Butter: the peanut butter can be omitted for a more basic vinaigrette dressing (although I highly encourage the peanut butter - it lends a creamy sweetness that is incredible in the salad).
