Salad Sunday-Chinese Chicken Salad

I usually do my cooking for the week on Sunday. Because I was in Phoenix last weekend for the Paratriathlon National Championships, I did not do my usual weekend cooking.

I got home late Tuesday, So later in the week, I found myself grocery shopping after working out.
I picked up a rotisserie chicken from the deli. I had thought about getting Chinese take out. It's tough to find time to cook during the week. Because by the time I work out and check e-mail my evening i pretty much done.  The chicken from the deli was a great solution. A bit healthier than take out and cheaper considering how many meals it makes for m.
 Paired with vegetables and some mashed potatoes it is an easy meal. I used part of that chicken for this recipe.  Hope you like it.



3 cups shredded Napa cabbage
1 small can bean sprouts
1 can sliced water chestnuts
3 stalks of celery chopped
2 ½ cups shredded cooked chicken
3 green onions sliced
¼ cup slivered almonds

Sauce
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon apple cider
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger

Combine all ingredients except almonds and sauce in large salad bowl.
In a small bowl mix  together the sauce ingredients.

Pour sauce over vegetables and toss vegetable mixture to coat.  Sprinkle almonds on top right before serving.

Serves 6
