This vibrant chicken salad combines fresh ingredients with a tangy pineapple citrus dressing for a refreshing and satisfying meal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli coleslaw mix, shredded carrot, diced pineapple, and grilled chicken slices.
Ensure the chicken is cooled before adding to the salad to maintain the crispness of the vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, honey, olive oil, and poppy seeds until well combined.
For a smoother dressing, you can blend the ingredients in a small blender.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Add the dressing gradually to avoid over-dressing the salad.
Sprinkle the toasted cashews on top of the salad just before serving.
Toast the cashews in a dry skillet for a few minutes to enhance their flavor.
Serve the salad immediately, garnished with additional poppy seeds or fresh herbs if desired.
Pair the salad with a light beverage for a complete meal.
