Notes
Ingredients
- 2 cups rotisserie chicken breast, shredded
- 1 head romaine lettuce, shredded
- 1 head iceberg lettuce, shredded
- 1 cup shredded red cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
- 3 tablespoons cilantro leaves, roughly chopped (optional)
- 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
- 1 cup crispy wonton strips (salad topper)
Instructions
- Place the shredded chicken into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle half of the Asian dressing over the chicken and toss until evenly coated. Allow it to rest for at least 10 minutes so the chicken absorbs the flavor.
- Add the romaine, iceberg lettuce, red cabbage, carrots, green onions, and cilantro to the bowl. Gently toss until everything is evenly mixed.
- Just before serving, pour the remaining dressing over the salad and toss again to coat.
- Finish with crushed red pepper flakes, sesame seeds, slivered almonds, and crispy wonton strips. Serve immediately while everything is fresh and crunchy.
