Ingredients

For the Salad

  • 1 cabbage whole head, chopped
  • 2 carrots julienned
  • ½ cup slivered almonds
  • 1 cup green onions chopped
  • 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 tbsp seasame seeds

For the Dressing

  • ¼ cup grapeseed oil or canola oil
  • ⅓ cup white balsamic vinegar
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil plus more to taste
  • salt + pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl whisk together all ingredients for the Sesame vinaigrette until completely combined. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl toss together all ingredients for the salad.
  • When ready to serve toss with desired amount of vinaigrette.

Notes

For this recipe, I used pre-cooked rotisserie chicken. However, poached boneless skinless chicken would taste just as delicious.
