Ingredients

1 chicken breast
1 large carrot, peeled and sliced into thin coins
1 head napa cabbage, chopped
1/2 cup red bell pepper, sliced into 1/2-inch strips
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
2 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce (or bragg's liquid aminos)
1/2 teaspoon ginger, minced
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon almond butter
1 tablespoon mayonnaise or vegannaise
2 tablespoons oil

Instructions

Place the chicken breast in a steamer pot over boiling water. Cook for 8 minutes or until cooked through. Cool and cut into chunks. You can also use leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken and skip this step.
In a large bowl, combine the chicken, carrot, cabbage, bell pepper, cilantro and sesame seeds.
Place the remaining ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine.
Add the dressing to the salad and toss to combine.

Notes

Veggie Lover’s Dream: Swap out the chicken for tofu, tempeh, or edamame to create a delightful meatless version of this salad that’s still packed with protein.
Gluten-Free Galore: Keep it gluten-free by using gluten-free Bragg’s liquid aminos instead of soy sauce.
Nutty Adventure: Add some chopped peanuts or almonds for an extra layer of crunch.
Spicy Surprise: If you’re feeling bold, sprinkle some red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
