About this Recipe

Though not exactly authentic, Chinese Chicken Salad is classic and delicious. Known for it’s refreshing flavor and variety of textures, Chinese Chicken Salad is full of crunchy vegetables, green onions, a punchy dressing, and of course, chicken. This recipe uses a combination of Napa cabbage and romaine, but feel free to mix it up. Shredded purple cabbage or even iceberg can work.
