CHICKEN AND CABBAGE SALAD WITH MISO-SESAME VINAIGRETTE
This simple salad calls for a specific set of ingredients, but it can also be considered a loose guideline. Thinly sliced leftover steak, shredded salmon or sliced dense tofu could easily take the place of the chicken - and that chicken can be left over from the night before, whether it's been poached, grilled, pan-seared or cooked on a rotisserie. Any crisp, crunchy lettuce will do. You could opt for shredded carrots and diced jicama instead of cucumber and radish, or add a handful of split cherry tomatoes and raw snap peas cut on a bias. As long as the basic balance of protein, dressing, greens, vegetables and herbs is maintained, the rest is up to you and your vegetable drawer.

CILANTRO CHICKEN SALAD
This is my twist on a recipe I found for the traditional chicken salad but without the mayo! It's best served in a wrap with lettuce and tomato or over your favorite green salad. I have found it's also very easy to make even lighter by using fat-free broth, lite soy sauce, and sugar substitute - none of which affects the taste!

CHICKEN AND SHREDDED-CABBAGE SALAD WITH NOODLES AND PEANUT SAUCE
This Chicken and Shredded-Cabbage Salad with Noodles and Peanut Sauce is an Asian-inspired classic that's best served chilled. But spicy serrano chiles add some heat. Piling the shredded-cabbage, carrots, and chicken on top of the noodles makes an attractive presentaion.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, combine the water with celery, ginger, garlic, chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and a pinch of salt; bring to a boil over high heat. Add the chicken breasts, and reduce heat to medium. Simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat, and let stand until chicken is cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board, and cut into 1/4-inch strips, or shred as finely as possible with your fingers. Place in a medium bowl, and set aside.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add salt. Cook noodles until they are al dente according to package instructions, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a colander, let drain, and rinse under cold water until they are cool. Place in a medium bowl, and toss with remaining tablespoon sesame oil; set aside.
- Cut cabbage in half, and remove core. Slice cabbage and carrots as thinly as possible with a mandoline or sharp knife. Place in a large bowl. Cut serrano chiles into very thin strips, and add to bowl along with shredded chicken and mint. Just before serving, pour peanut sauce over mixture, and toss to coat. Place noodles on a large serving platter, and pile chicken mixture on top. Sprinkle with peanuts and cilantro leaves.
Tips:
- Choose the right type of chicken. For this salad, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best.
- Cook the chicken properly. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough, so cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces. This will make it easier to eat and mix with the other ingredients.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables, so feel free to add whatever you have on hand. Some good options include cabbage, bell pepper, carrots, celery, and onion.
- Add some herbs and spices. Herbs and spices will help to flavor the salad and make it more interesting. Some good options include cilantro, parsley, dill, salt, and pepper.
- Use a light dressing. A light dressing will help to keep the salad from becoming too heavy or greasy. A good option is a vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, and Dijon mustard.
Conclusion:
Shredded chicken salad with cabbage, bell pepper, and cilantro is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make dish. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple tips, you can make a shredded chicken salad that's sure to impress your friends and family.
