Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 cups shredded green cabbage
5 cups shredded red cabbage
4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
4 scallions, thinly sliced on the bias, plus more for garnish
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced into 2-inch-long strips
1/2 cup packed cilantro leaves, chopped, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, plus more for garnish
1/2 cup creamy almond butter
1/2 cup tamari
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons Sriracha
1 lime, zested and juiced

Steps:

  • For the salad: In a large bowl, combine the green and red cabbage, chicken, the 4 scallions, bell pepper, the 1/2 cup cilantro and 1 tablespoon sesame seeds. Toss.
  • For the dressing: In a blender, combine the almond butter, tamari, vinegar, honey, Sriracha, lime zest and lime juice and blend until smooth.
  • Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to combine. Let sit for a few minutes and toss again; the longer it sits the more the flavors absorb.
  • Scoop into a bowl and garnish with more cilantro, scallions and sesame seeds. Serve right away or refrigerate for up to 4 days.

This salad is a bit bland. I would recommend adding some more spices or herbs.

I found the chicken to be a bit dry. I would recommend cooking it for less time.

The dressing is a bit too tangy for my taste. I would recommend using less vinegar.
