Ingredients

Salad

  • 2 chicken breasts marinated in teriyaki sauce, grilled, and chopped
  • 3 head romaine chopped
  • 3 carrots sliced thinly
  • 1 1/2 cup broccoli slaw
  • 1 cup purple cabbage diced
  • 1 red pepper diced into large chunks
  • 4 green onions chopped
  • 1 cup cilantro coarsely chopped
  • 4 ounces rice noodles cook and strained, rinsed with cold water
  • 1 -2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • Additional add-ins: kale, spinach, bean sprouts

Ginger Chili Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon ginger chopped fine
  • 1 tablespoon garlic chopped fine
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1-2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon chili sauce
  • 1/4 cup cilantro chopped (optional)

Instructions

Salad

  • Place the greens in a salad bowl. I used romaine this time, but I also love to add kale and spinach to this. 
  • Place all your other toppings: carrots, broccoli slaw, red pepper, rice noodles, and purple cabbage in rows. Top with grilled chicken, cilantro, sesame seeds, and green onions.
  • You can serve like this, so people and can pick and choose what they want with their greens, this is what I do with the kids. Or you can toss the salad with 1/4 -1/2 cup of dressing, lightly coating all the ingredients. I do this after the kids have taken what they want.

Ginger Chili Lime Dressing

  • Mix all the ingredients in a bowl, I like to let it sit for a couple of hours in the fridge before, but it is good either way. Be generous with the lime juice and adjust the chili sauce to the heat you like.
