Description

This Chinese Chicken Salad Recipe is a delicious and refreshing dish featuring a mix of crunchy vegetables, shredded chicken, and a flavorful ginger soy dressing.


Ingredients

Units Scale

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
  • 23 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

  1. Add all dressing ingredients to a salad shaker or small bowl, shake/mix and set aside.
  2. Add the salad ingredients to a large bowl and toss to combine.
  3. Pour half the dressing over the salad, toss together, and taste. Add more dressing based on your preference.
  4. 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.
