Ingredients
- 1 chicken breast
- 1 large carrot peeled and sliced into thin coins
- 1 head Napa cabbage chopped
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper sliced into 1/2-inch strips
- 2 tablespoons cilantro chopped
- 2 teaspoon sesame seeds toasted
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or bragg's liquid aminos)
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger minced
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise or vegannaise
- 2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
Instructions
- Place the chicken breast in a steamer pot over boiling water. Cook for 8 minutes or until cooked through. Cool and cut into chunks. You can also use leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken and skip this step.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken, carrot, cabbage, bell pepper, cilantro and sesame seeds.
- Place the remaining ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine.
- Add the dressing to the salad and toss to combine.
Notes
- Veggie Lover’s Dream: Swap out the chicken for tofu, tempeh, or edamame to create a delightful meatless version of this salad that’s still packed with protein.
- Gluten-Free Galore: Keep it gluten-free by using gluten-free Bragg’s liquid aminos instead of soy sauce.
- Nutty Adventure: Add some chopped peanuts or almonds for an extra layer of crunch.
- Spicy Surprise: If you’re feeling bold, sprinkle some red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
