- 2 large carrots shredded
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 2 green onions chopped
- ¼ cup sliced almonds optional
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 head iceberg lettuce
Sesame Ginger Dressing:
- ¼ cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 ½ tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 ½ teaspoons brown sugar or honey
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- ½ garlic clove grated
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
Make the dressing:

Cup of Yum
Make the chicken salad:
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, mandarin oranges, celery, carrots, cabbage, almonds, green onions, salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days, and toss with the dressing when ready to serve. Add ½ cup dressing and toss to combine.
Make the lettuce wraps:
- Layer two iceberg lettuce leaves to build a base for the chicken salad. Scoop ¾ cup of the chicken salad on top of the lettuce. Fold the sides over and then onto itself to wrap it tightly. Alternatively, with the smaller inner leaves, you can simply build lettuce cups and fold them in half to enjoy them like a taco.
