Asian Chicken Salad in Cabbage Cups

I hope you enjoy this healthy, satisfying & oh so savory salad...stay happy at home and Happy Cooking!!

Hi friends! Here’s my quick and easy recipe for a scrumptious Asian Chicken Salad in Cabbage Cups! This is a great low-carb recipe for beginners.

There is so much crunchy goodness in these, you’re going to love every bite! You can always just enjoy this as a simple chicken salad recipe, but I find it more fun to serve and have them in these Savoy Cabbage cups, so give it a go!

Plus, savoy cabbage is a great source of vitamin C.

My favorite part of this salad are the homemade fried wonton strips...YUMMMM!!

If you want to change this into an easy vegan recipe, no problem! You can use the dressing to marinate and fry up some tofu in place of the chicken.
