Description

A delicious and colorful salad featuring tender chicken, crunchy veggies, and sweet-tart cranberries with a zesty dressing.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp freshly grated ginger

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, add the shredded chicken, cabbage, carrots, cranberries, green onions, and cilantro.
  2. Gently toss everything together, reserving the almonds for later.
  3. In a small bowl or jar, combine the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and grated ginger. Whisk or shake until well combined.

For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with tofu. Keep dressing separate until ready to serve to maintain crispness.
