Sesame Chicken Cabbage Crunch Salad

INGREDIENTS

• 1 Grilled Sesame Chicken using this grilled sesame chicken recipe
• 4 cup shredded green cabbage
• 2 cup shredded red cabbage
• 1/2 cup diced green onion
• 3/4 cup freshly diced cilantro
• 1 cup shredded carrots bagged or cut into matchsticks for excellent crunch
• 1 red bell pepper thinly julienned
• 1 jalapeno seeded and diced
• 1 batch Sesame Ginger Dressing
• 1/3 cup toasted sliced almonds
• 1/3 cup roasted cashews halves
• Sesame seeds
• Extra cilantro
• Extra green onion
• A few jalapeno slices
• Crispy wonton strips Optional

INSTRUCTIONS

1. 1 Marinate the chicken using this grilled sesame chicken recipe.
2. 2 Make the sesame ginger dressing. Set aside.
3. 3 Assemble the salad together: in a large bowl, add the green and red cabbage, green onion, cilantro, carrots, bell pepper and jalapeno. Pour dressing all over the salad and toss to combine and coat all the veggies. Cover and set aside while you bake or grill your chicken according to the recipe.
4. 4 Serve the salad: add salad to a large platter. Garnish with toasted sliced almonds, cashews, extra cilantro, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, a few jalapeno slices and some additional chopped green onion, if desired. I also love adding crispy wonton strips but that’s totally optional. Dig in! Serves 4 as a hearty main dish or 6 as a side dish.
