Salad:
- 4 cups Napa Cabbage finely shredded
- 1 cup Red Cabbage finely shredded
- 1 cup Carrots shredded
- 1/2 cup Green Onions chopped
- 1/2 cup Fresh Cilantro chopped
- 2–3 cups Chicken shredded
Dressing:
- 3 Teaspoons Ginger grated
- 3 Garlic Cloves minced
- 3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 3 Tablespoons Rice Vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon Sesame Oil
- 4 Teaspoons avocado or vegetable oil
- 2 Teaspoons Sugar or your fave sugar sub
Toppings:
- Sesame Seeds
- 1 cup Crispy noodles (We use slivered almonds instead)
Instructions
- Add all dressing ingredients to a salad shaker or small bowl, shake/mix and set aside.
- Add the salad ingredients to a large bowl and toss to combine.
- Pour half the dressing over the salad, toss together, and taste. Add more dressing based on your preference.
- Top with chopped cilantro, almonds, and sesame seeds, and enjoy!
Notes
- I stick to Lakanto and Swerve which are a 1:1 swap with traditional sugar. If using a different brand of Erythritol, keep in mind it’s 70% as sweet as sugar, so you may need to add more to taste.
- You want an oil with a high smoke point and mild flavor — think avocado, vegetable, safflower, sunflower, peanut. Skip EVOO, coconut, or sesame oil.
