Ingredients
For the Salad:
- 5 cups chopped romaine lettuce about 1 head
- 1 ½ cups shredded red cabbage
- 1 ½ cups shredded carrots
- 8 Crispy Asian Chicken Tenders
- ⅓ cup toasted sliced almonds

- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon sesame oil
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1-2 tablespoons nonfat milk if necessary
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl or large measuring cup, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, vinegar, mustard, sesame oil, and salt. Taste and add more salt as desired. If the dressing is too thick for your liking, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons milk, until the desired consistency is reached.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the romaine, red cabbage, and carrots. Arrange the chicken tenders on top. Drizzle with the dressing. Sprinkle with the chow mein noodles, almonds, and green onion. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- TO STORE: This salad is best enjoyed the day it is made, but you can store it in an airtight storage container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- TO MAKE AHEAD: If you’re hoping to make this salad ahead for a party or easy lunches, you can individually prepare and store the ingredients. Prepare the chicken tenders, dressing, and all the salad ingredients except for the almonds and chow mein noodles. Store the lettuce and dressing in separate containers in the refrigerator, and store the almonds and chow mein noodles at room temperature. Combine and toss when ready to eat.
