Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Refreshing Summer Cabbage Salad with Chicken and Almonds.
Step 1
Start by gathering your ingredients and a large mixing bowl. Toss the shredded cabbage and cubed chicken into the bowl, giving them a gentle mix to combine. This colorful base is the heart of your salad!
Step 2
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, chicken-flavored ramen seasoning, and white sugar. Keep whisking until the sugar dissolves completely, creating a flavorful dressing that will elevate your salad.
Step 3
Now, slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously. This will help emulsify the dressing, making it rich and creamy. Once combined, stir in the chopped green onions for an extra burst of flavor.
Step 4
Pour this delicious dressing over the cabbage and chicken mixture. Toss everything together until the salad is evenly coated in that tangy goodness. You want every bite to be full of flavor!
Step 5
Finally, sprinkle the toasted sliced almonds and sesame seeds on top. These add a delightful crunch and nutty flavor that perfectly complements the salad. Serve it up and enjoy the refreshing taste of summer!
How to Serve
This salad is best served chilled. Pair it with grilled meats or enjoy it as a light lunch on its own. It's perfect for picnics or barbecues!
How to Store
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The salad may become slightly soggy, so it's best enjoyed fresh.
