Vietnamese Chicken Cabbage Salad

This simple Vietnamese salad is great for a hot summer night. The tart flavors of the onion, lemon, and salt are offset by the cabbage and chicken.

Original recipe makes 6 servings

1 head cabbage, cored and shredded
2 onions, halved and thinly sliced
2 cups shredded, cooked chicken breast
1/4 cup olive oil

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, toss together the cabbage, onions, and chicken. Toss with olive oil until everything is lightly coated. Season with salt and pepper and continue to toss while adding lemon juice. Add enough lemon juice so that you can taste it in every bite. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. The longer it sets the more the flavors mesh together and the better it tastes!
