This vibrant Thai-inspired slaw is one of those easy, throw-together meals that feels both deeply satisfying and refreshingly light. It starts with leftover chicken and a crunchy base of napa cabbage and carrots, tossed with a zesty ginger-almond butter dressing that’s bursting with flavor—think lime juice, garlic, fresh ginger, and a touch of sriracha for gentle heat. Finished with loads of chopped cilantro, this slaw makes a perfect packable lunch or quick weeknight dinner. Make it ahead and store in individual containers for nourishing meals on the go all week long.
