Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and cubed chicken. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, ramen noodle seasoning packets, and sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Slowly drizzle the olive oil into the vinegar mixture while whisking continuously to emulsify the dressing until it thickens. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Stir in the chopped green onions into the dressing. (1 minute)

05

Step

Pour the dressing over the cabbage and chicken mixture. Toss gently until the salad is evenly coated. (3 minutes)

06

Step

Sprinkle the salad with toasted almond slices and sesame seeds just before serving. (1 minute)

For an enhanced flavor profile, consider grilling the chicken breasts instead of baking them. The smoky char adds a delightful depth to the salad.
Feel free to adjust the amount of dressing to your preference. Some prefer a more generously coated salad, while others prefer a lighter touch.
If desired, crush the unused ramen noodles and sprinkle them over the salad for added crunch. However, the salad is equally delicious without them.
This salad is a fantastic make-ahead option. Prepare the dressing and salad separately, and combine them just before serving to prevent the cabbage from becoming soggy.
