This Asian-inspired chicken salad combines fresh vegetables, tender chicken, and a tangy dressing for a delightful meal.
In a large bowl, combine the napa cabbage, green onions, sesame seeds, cilantro, and shredded chicken.
Ensure the vegetables are fresh and crisp for the best texture.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sugar, black pepper, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil to create the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Toss gently to avoid bruising the vegetables.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Refrigerating the salad enhances the flavor and texture.
Serve the salad chilled, garnished with additional sesame seeds if desired.
Serve immediately after chilling for the best taste and texture.
