Easy and Delicious Chinese Chicken Salad

Salad is such wonderful food because it is so forgiving, you can add pretty much any vegetable, and with the right sauce, it can turn into magic. Well, Asian-inspired sauces are some of my favorites, and they just happen to go really well with veggies and chicken. This Chinese Chicken Salad recipe is a keeper, and my husband proclaimed it “counter-pounding good” — that’s pretty much a 5-star rating!

• Stainless Skillet
• Mixing Bowl
• Sesame Seeds
• Tamari
• Sesame Oil
• Raw Honey
• Ginger Paste
• Coconut Aminos
• Organic Raw Apple Cider Vinegar
• Olive Oil
• Butcher Box Meat & Seafood

Ingredients

  

• 5 cups organic cabbage chopped
• 2 cups organic sugar snap peas chopped
• 3 scallions chopped
• 1 red bell pepper chopped
• 3 carrots shredded I like to shred them in my food processor
• 2-3 cups cooked chicken shredded or chopped (we use Butcher Box meat)
• ¼ cup EVOO plus more for cooking chicken
• ¼ cup tamari
• ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
• ¼ Tbsp Coconut Aminos Sauce Organic plus more for cooking chicken
• 1 Tbsp ginger paste
• 1 Tbsp raw honey
• 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
• ¼ cup toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

 

• Combine all of the chopped veggies in a large bowl.
  
  
• Combine EVOO, tamari, ACV, aminos, ginger paste, honey, and sesame oil in a mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
  
  
• Pour dressing over vegetables and stir to combine.
  
  
• Allow to sit and marinate.
• In a medium skillet, cook the shredded chicken with some olive oil and aminos to add moisture and flavor. EVOO is not a high-heat oil, so keep the heat just high enough to warm the chicken. Add a little garlic if you like. I sometimes do.
  
  
• To serve: plate up some of the veggies, top with chicken, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  
  

Notes

This Chinese Chicken Salad lasts in the fridge for 2 days. I like to store the chicken and the veggies in separate containers and then warm the chicken again later. It lasts longer that way.
