Asian Chicken and Cabbage Salad with Creamy Ginger Almond Butter Dressing
This incredibly flavorful chicken-cabbage salad is packed with antioxidants and detoxification compounds. Use leftover roasted chicken or poached chicken breasts in this recipe, or simmer a whole chicken on the stove and use the meat for salads and stock your freezer with the broth. This salad can be dressed and stored in your refrigerator for up to three days—making it a great meal prep salad to have on hand for quick and nutrient-dense lunches! If you are on a soy-free diet, replace the wheat-free tamari with coconut aminos.
