Author: Rachel's Healthy Plate
Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
Salad:
- 3 oz shredded cooked chicken*
- 1.5 cups shredded cabbage (I used slaw mix)
- ¼ red pepper, diced
- 1 4oz container no sugar added mandarin oranges
- 2 Tbsp cilantro, chopped (more to taste)
- 1-2 Tbsp green onion, chopped (to taste)
- 8 g slivered almonds
- sesame seeds to garnish (optional)
Dressing:
- 1.5 Tbsp almond butter
- 2 tsp coconut aminos (may sub low sodium soy sauce)
- ½ tsp ginger paste
- ½ tsp sriracha (to taste)
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp water
- pinch of salt (use if almond butter is unsalted)
Instructions
- In a small bowl whisk together the dressing ingredients, set aside.
- In a large bowl mix together the shredded chicken and cabbage. Stir in the almond butter dressing and toss until well combined.
- Drain the juice from the mandarin oranges and lay them out on a paper towel to absorb the excess liquid. Add the oranges, red pepper, green onion, and cilantro to the salad and mix gently.
- Top salad with slivered almonds. Garnish as desired - I typically add more green onion, cilantro, sriracha, and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
