Ingredients

For the Salad Dressing:

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • ⅓ cup rice vinegar
  • ¼ cup hoisin sauce
  • 1 ½ tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil

For the Salad:

  • 4 cups cooked chicken shredded or diced
  • 1 pound Napa cabbage cored and finely shredded
  • 2 cups red cabbage cored and finely shredded
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 bunch scallions thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro minced
  • 1 cup fried wonton strips
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds for garnish optional

Instructions

To make the dressing:

  • In a small jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine oil, vinegar, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil. Shake vigorously until combined.
  • Allow flavors to blend at room temperature while preparing the rest of the salad. Or, refrigerate for up to 4 days.

To make the salad:

  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken, cabbage, carrots, scallions, and cilantro. Shake the dressing to recombine and pour over the salad.
  • Toss until evenly coated. Sprinkle with chow mein noodles and sesame seeds, if using, and serve.
