Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh cilantro leaves and soft stems
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from 2 limes)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1 rotisserie chicken (about 2 1/2 pounds), skin and bones removed, meat shredded (about 4 cups)
- 1/4 medium red cabbage (8 ounces), cored and thinly sliced crosswise
- 1 red bell pepper (ribs and seeds removed), thinly sliced
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 large head romaine lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
- 1/2 cup cashews
Directions
-
Make dressing: In a blender, combine cilantro, lime juice, and oil; season with salt and pepper. Blend until smooth.

In a large bowl, combine chicken, cabbage, bell pepper, and scallions; season with salt and pepper. In another large bowl, toss lettuce with 1/2 cup dressing. Divide among four bowls, and top with chicken mixture. Drizzle all with remaining dressing, and sprinkle with cashews.
For a yummy variation I add 1 T. sesame seed oil to the dressing,add some crispy wonton strips, omit shredded lettuce, scoop up into lettuce cups instead. Even picky kids dig it!
When I saw the title I immediate thought of Margaret Cho. I wonder what she might think of the recipe. She is my favorite female humorist.
Put this salad ontop of Soba noodles that have been lightly tossed with sesame oil for an even more filling meal.
Yum yum! Loved the combination of ingredients, super easy to make and very flavorful. I think it tastes more Mexican than Asian because of the cilantro

Great timing, I finally purchased a mandoline over the weekend and I used it to prepare this salad. I added green peppers and to the dressing added crushed red pepper, heat is always a bonus for flavor. I roasted some chicken breasts with EVOO and S
