Description
A fresh and flavorful salad combining shredded cabbage, diced chicken, almonds, and dried cranberries with a zesty lemon poppy seed dressing.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup neutral salad oil
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 Tbsp honey
- 1/4 tsp sugar
- 1/2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1/4 Tbsp poppy seeds
- 1/8 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 6 cups shredded cabbage
- Salt, as needed
- 1 cup cooked chicken, diced or shredded
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 3 green onions, sliced
Instructions
- Remove damaged outer leaves from the cabbage, cut into wedges, remove core, and slice crosswise into thin shreds. Place in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and massage in. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Prepare the dressing by combining oil, lemon juice, honey, sugar, Dijon mustard, poppy seeds, onion powder, and salt in a bowl. Whisk until emulsified.
- Rinse the cabbage in cold water to remove salt and let drain.
- In a bowl, combine rinsed cabbage, chicken, almonds, cranberries, and green onions. Pour dressing over the salad, toss to combine, and let marinate for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Best served chilled. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days, keeping dressing separate until ready to eat.
