Recipe Notes

Note 1: Use Poached Chicken or rotisserie chicken.

Note 2: Every .5 pound of romaine is equal to 1 small to medium head of romaine.

Note 3: An alternative to the grain-free wontons listed, you could also make optional chicken skin 'wontons'. To do so, first pull the skin off of raw chicken. Pat the skin dry and place them skin-side up in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Cover the skins with another layer of parchment and place a baking sheet on top, sandwiching the skins in-between. Place the pans in a 350°F oven and bake until the skins are crisp, about 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer the cooked skins to a towel-lined plate to cool. Slice them up and sprinkle the 'wontons' into the salad before serving.

Shopping List
    Salad
  • 12 ounces chicken, cooked (Note 1)
  • 1/2 pound romaine, chopped
  • 4 ounces kale, de-stemmed and chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups red cabbage, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 5 scallions, chopped
  • 1 cup grain-free wontons
  • 1/2 cup cilantro (optional) Ginger Dressing
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 5 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 33333333/100000000 tablespoons coconut aminos
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1 scallion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon creamy almond butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
  1. Step 1: Add all dressing ingredients to a wide-mouthed mason jar and use an immersion blender to blend until creamy. Whisking by hand will work too, but be sure to very finely dice the scallion in that case. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container until ready to use. 
  2. Step 2: Shred the cooked chicken, using 2 forks or your hands. It’s easiest to do this when the chicken is a bit warm. Set aside.
  3. Step 3: Wash and dry the kale and romaine. If using kale, remove the hard stalks. Chop the greens into bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl.
  4. Serve: Add all remaining salad ingredients to the kale. Toss well to combine, and add the dressing, to taste (I use about half). Sprinkle on optional sesame seeds for presentation. If preparing this for a meal prep, reserve the wontons to add just before eating. Leftover salad dressing will last up to 1 week in the refrigerated.
Recipe Notes

Note 1: Use Poached Chicken or rotisserie chicken.

Note 2: Every .5 pound of romaine is equal to 1 small to medium head of romaine.
