Ingredients
Hoisin Vinaigrette
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 2 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- ¼ cup hoisin sauce
- ¼ cup neutral oil (canola or vegetable oil work well)
Salad
- 12 ounces cooked chicken breasts (shredded, use rotisserie chicken)
- 4 cups green cabbage (shredded, about ½ medium head of cabbage)
- 2 medium carrots (shredded or julienne, about 1 cup)
- 1 medium cucumber (julienne sliced)
- ¼ cup cilantro (plus extra for garnish)
- ¼ cup mint leaves (plus extra for garnish)
- ¼ cup peanuts (crushed or chopped, plus extra for garnish)
- ¼ cup French fried onions or fried shallots (plus extra for garnish)
Instructions
- Add all of the dressing ingredients to a lidded jar and shake to combine. Alternatively, add the ingredients to a medium bowl and whisk them to combine.
- Shred the cabbage using a sharp chef's knife or mandoline.
- Peel and then shred the carrots using a julienne peeler, the mandoline, or the large holes of a box grater.
- Cut the cucumber into 3-4" pieces. Cut each piece into thin planks using a chef’s knife. Then slice each plank into thin strips for a julienne cut.
- Chop the cilantro and tear the mint leaves into small pieces. Crush the peanuts using the broad side of a chef's knife blade or simply chop them into small pieces.
- Arrange salad ingredients on a platter for a DIY-type presentation where everyone can build their salad to their liking.

- Garnish with aditional herbs, peanuts, and onions and serve.
