Chinese Chicken Salad

Salad:

• 3 cups lettuce finely shredded
• 2 cups red cabbage finely shredded
• 1 cup carrots shredded
• 1/2 cup green onions chopped
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro chopped
• 2 cups chicken shredded

• 3 teaspoons ginger grated
• 3 garlic cloves minced
• 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon mild-tasting oil (see notes below)
• 2 teaspoons Splenda or 1 1/2 teaspoon sugar

Toppings:

• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 cup almonds slivers (can sub for crispy noodles or ramen if you aren’t watching your carbs)
• fresh cilantro chopped

Directions:

1. Add all dressing ingredients to a salad shaker or small bowl, shake/mix and set aside.

2. Add the salad ingredients to a large bowl and toss to combine.

3. Pour half the dressing over the salad, toss it together, and taste. Add more dressing based on your preference. (We usually use 3/4 of the dressing, but adding more is easier than removing!).

4. Top with chopped cilantro, almonds (1 cup), and sesame seeds, and enjoy!
