Crispy Crunchy Chinese Chicken Cabbage Salad

I’m so excited to share my Chinese Chicken Cabbage Salad recipe with you. It’s my kids absolute favorite and a smash hit at potlucks and holidays. Easter, Memorial Day, Labor Day or the 4th of July, my friends and family make it a point to confirm that’s what I’m bringing. Last Easter, I had to make 2 batches back to back because my kids cried “child abuse” at the tragic fact that we ran out too fast!

I know there are lots of Asian Chicken Salad recipes out there but I challenge you to try mine and see if you don’t like it better. I adjusted it from an old recipe to better suit my hubby’s distaste of sugar in savory foods and his love of sesame oil.

This recipe is easy and makes a ton. It’s perfect to bring to a get-together or picnic. Bonus points: It also won’t wilt in the sun or heat.

Since I take a shortcut by using canned chicken, the time required to make it is pretty short. But keep in mind that it needs to refrigerate at least 2 hours for all the yumminess to seep in.
