Do this … Paleo Asian Chicken Cabbage Salad

Savoy cabbage gives a nice buttery and sweet taste after it’s being lightly sauteed. After thin slicing (or shredding), give them a quick toss to release the natural sweetness of the vegetable.

The sauté time is completely opt to you. Sauté longer for a softer texture. A quick toss will give a crispier texture.

Savoy is perfect for make-ahead salads because it contains less water so it’ll keep crispy and fresh longer in the fridge.

If you can’t find Savoy cabbage the next best thing would be nappa cabbage. Since nappa cabbage contains more water, a quick and light toss in the sauté pan will be more than enough.

Now onto the rainbow color gorgeous looking salad

I topped the cabbage with sugar snap peas, red cabbage, almond slices, and scallions. They give a nice crunch and color contrast to the dish, and make it even more appetizing and nutritious.

Make it for tonight or bring it to a house party !

I paired the salad with a simple homemade toasted sesame vinaigrette dressing. You can easily double the salad dressing quantity from the recipe below.

My toasted sesame vinaigrette will go well with not only chicken but also grilled pork, shrimps, or beef.

I hope this recipe will help you enjoy Savoy cabbage in a brand new way.
