Preparation
- In a glass jar, combine ¼ cup toasted sesame oil, 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons orange or apricot jam, and ¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice. Add the zest of half an orange, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger, 1 clove grated garlic, ½ teaspoon ground turmeric, and 1 tablespoon sesame seeds. Whisk together until smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper before setting aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of shredded cabbage or kale with 2 cups of cooked shredded rotisserie chicken, and ½ cup chopped cilantro or Thai basil. If you like a little heat, add 1 jalapeño, sliced. Drizzle half of the prepared dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
- Carefully fold in 1 diced avocado and ½ cup of roasted salted cashews to the salad. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the top and toss lightly once more, being cautious not to mash the avocado.
- Just before serving, add 1 cup of crispy wonton strips on top for that delightful crunch. Toss gently to incorporate, but keep the wontons on top so they remain crispy.
- Transfer the salad to a large serving platter or individual bowls, garnishing with a sprinkle of chopped green onions for added freshness. Serve immediately.
