Vietnamese Inspired Chicken & Cabbage Salad
- 2 cooked chicken breast, pulled or shredded
- 1 small head of Savoy Cabbage (about 5 cups) thinly sliced
- 1 cup julienned carrots
- 6-7 Spring green onion tops, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup Mint leaves, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup Basil leaves, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup Cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
- Nuoc cham Inspired Salad Dressing
- 1/4 cup water or coconut water (the clear stuff, not milk or cream)
- 2-3 Tbls fresh lime juice (to taste)
- 2 Tbls fish sauce
- 1 1/2 Tbls honey (omit for 21DSD & Whole30 plans)
- 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tbls mild flavored Olive Oil or other oil
- 1/2 chopped red seeded chili is optional
- If I can, I use leftover roasted chicken. Otherwise I roast the chicken breasts. This makes the chicken very moist and easily pulled. To roast chicken breasts: Place them in a baking dish with a cup of chicken broth and roast them at around 300 degrees for about 25 minuets or till cooked through (165 internal temp), baste a few times. Cool a bit then pull into thin strips or shred.
- Thinly slice the cabbage, carrots and spring onion tops(the green parts) into long strips.
- Roughly chop the herbs and place all the above ingredients into a large bowl.
- In a seperate bowl or mason jar, measure out all the dressing ingredients. Shake or mix well.
- Pour the Dressing over the salad, toss and serve with Sriracha Chilie Sauce or other chili sauce.
- Feel free to play with the salad dressing ratios to suit your taste
