Prep Time: 20 min
Ingredients:
| for the salad: | |
| 4 cups | shredded cooked chicken |
| 3 cups | shredded Romaine lettuce |
| 2 cups | shredded purple cabbage |
| 2 | scallion, thinly sliced |
| 1 | medium cucumber, thinly sliced into batons |
| 1/3 cup | sliced almonds, toasted |
| 1 cup | crispy chow mein noodles |
| for the dressing: | |
| 3 tablespoons | sesame oil |
| 1/4 cup | seasoned rice wine vinegar |
| 1/4 cup | vegetable oil |
| 2 tablespoons | sugar |
| 1 teaspoon | salt |
| 1/4 teaspoon | fresh black pepper |
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine all of the salad ingredients, tossing until well mixed.
In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients and then pour over the salad, tossing to coat.
I buy a rotisserie chicken and shred the meat (discarding the skin). It's fast, fresh and just enough meat for 4 to 6 servings.
OR - Use leftover chicken tenders, heated until crispy, then sliced.
