Asian Chicken and Cabbage Salad

This retro, Asian-inspired salad gets a healthy makeover with the addition of crispy fried shallots instead of noodles. It’s a brilliant way to use leftover chicken or turkey, and it contains a number of ingredients to improve your digestion and gut health.

This salad contains antifungal foods like shallot, onion, and garlic. It incorporates healthy fats like olive oil, a good dose of protein from the chicken or turkey, and very few carbohydrates. The dressing is lightly sweetened with stevia, but this is optional.

This dish is so easy to prepare too. Just toss everything together with the delicious dressing, and top with crunchy fried shallots for a terrific looking salad. This Asian Chicken and Cabbage Salad is a great option for lunch or dinner and can be easily doubled for pot lucks, picnics, and outdoor barbecues.
