Ingredients

The following ingredients have 7 Servings
  • 3 cups shredded romaine lettuce
  • 3 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, minced
  • 1-2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1-2 cups mandarin oranges (I buy the 100% juice-packed ones)
  • 1/4-1/2 cup toasted almonds
  • 1/4 cup gluten free tamari (or coconut aminos or soy sauce)
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar (seasoned or unseasoned) or cider vinegar for paleo
  • 2-3 Tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil

Instruction

  • Combine the salad mixture and toss until well blended.
  • Whisk together salad dressing ingredients until well blended.
  • If serving the whole salad immediately, stir in the salad add-ins (chicken, oranges, almonds) and enough dressing to coat the salad. Try not to add too much dressing at the beginning, as it breaks down the salad after a few minutes.
  • Serve immediately or keep components separate and prepare just as much as you need. If stored separately, leftovers should keep 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
