A refreshing and flavorful Chinese-inspired chicken salad with crunchy veggies, tender chicken, and a zesty sesame dressing.
3 cups thinly sliced Napa or green cabbage
1 cup thinly sliced red cabbage
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup sugar snap peas, thinly sliced
3 green onions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
2 ½ cups cooked, shredded chicken (12 ounces cooked)
1 cup orange segments (from a 12- to 15-ounce can of mandarin oranges in 100% juice, drained, or fresh orange segments)
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves, stems removed, leaves roughly chopped
⅓ cup slivered or sliced almonds, toasted
Optional: Black and/or white sesame seeds for garnish
¼ cup unseasoned rice vinegar
3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
3 tablespoons coconut aminos
2 tablespoons avocado oil or extra-virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
You can substitute Napa cabbage with regular green cabbage or savoy cabbage for different textures.
If you don’t have avocado oil, extra-virgin olive oil can be used in the dressing.
This recipe is naturally gluten-free if you use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
Rotisserie chicken is a great option for a quicker prep time.
To make this salad vegan, substitute chicken with tofu or tempeh and use plant-based oils for the dressing.
