A vibrant and refreshing salad packed with crisp shredded cabbage, tender chicken, and crunchy noodles. Tossed in a zesty homemade ginger-soy dressing, it's the perfect 25-minute meal for a light lunch or healthy dinner.
Prepare the dressing by combining the light soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grapeseed oil, sugar, minced ginger, grated garlic, and black pepper in a small jar. Shake vigorously until well combined and let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
In a large salad bowl, combine the finely shredded Chinese cabbage, red cabbage, julienned carrots, cooked chicken, and sliced scallions.
Add half of the crunchy noodles to the bowl. Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad and toss thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Divide the salad into serving bowls. Top with the remaining crunchy noodles and a generous sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve immediately to enjoy the maximum crunch.
For a shortcut, use a store-bought rotisserie chicken. To keep the salad fresh for meal prep, store the dressing and crunchy noodles separately and toss them in just before eating. You can also add mandarin oranges or sliced almonds for extra sweetness and texture.
