This Chinese chicken salad is packed with flavor, thanks to a delicious sesame-ginger dressing, crunchy veggies, mandarin oranges, and almonds. Did we mention it’s Whole30 and paleo?! It comes together super quickly and is a light but filling dinner or entree salad the whole fam will enjoy.
In large bowl, toss together lettuce, cabbage, chicken, mandarin oranges, carrots, green onions, and almonds.
In a small bowl, whisk together rice wine vinegar, coconut aminos, sesame oil, olive oil, garlic, ginger, and salt.
Drizzle dressing over salad. Toss to combine, then serve.
Notes
Rice Wine Vinegar: Make sure you're not using a "seasoned" rice wine vinegar. Those almost always include sugar, which means they're not Whole30 compliant.
Shredded Chicken: Whether you cook your own chicken or use a precooked rotisserie chicken, the methods outlined in our Instant Pot Shredded Chicken post are the easiest ways to shred your chicken.
