Ingredients
For Dressing
- 2 tablespoon lime juice fresh
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoon soy sauce light
- 1 tablespoon miso paste
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger grated, fresh
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
For Salad
- 4 cups Napa cabbage shredded
- 1 celery chopped or julienned, stalk
- 1 cup carrot julienned
- 1 red bell pepper julienned
- 1 cup edamame
- ½ English cucumber julienned
- 2 cups chicken breast fully cooked, chopped (about 2
- ¼ cup sesame seeds toasted
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- 2 tablespoon cilantro chopped, fresh
Instructions
- First make the dressing by adding all ingredients to a blender or food processor and pulse a few times until creamy, about 30 seconds. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- I julienned all the vegetables, but you could also chop them if preferred. In a large bowl, add the napa cabbage, celery, carrots, red bell pepper, edamame, cucumber, chicken breast and toss everything well together.
- Add the sesame seeds, cilantro and the prepared dressing, then toss everything well together again. Season with salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- To julienne vegetables, cut them into long, thin strips, like matchsticks.
- I used pre-cooked chicken for this recipe. If you're using raw chicken breast, season with salt and pepper and bake for 20 minutes at 400F.
- Miso paste is a traditional Japanese seasoning made by fermenting soybeans with salt, rice, barley and other ingredients.
- If you cannot find miso paste, you can just omit it from the dressing or add a bit of fish sauce to the dressing.
