Notes

1. I use soy sauce for the chicken marinade because it's a good brining shortcut - adds salt to the chicken as well as flavour.

2. This recipe is best made with freshly grated parmesan because it mostly dissolves when tossed. But it can be made with store bought too, it just probably won't fully dissolve. Start with 3/4 cup then adjust to taste (store bought grated parmesan is more dense than freshly grated so 3/4 cup is about 1 cup freshly grated).

3. Inspired by thisCabbage Salad by Karen Martini, an Australian Chef and Restauranteur, from her restaurant Mr Wolf in St Kilda, Melbourne.

4. This recipe makes 2 generous servings (e.g. a meal without bread or similar on the side) or 3 normal servings. If you want toreduce the calories, you can reduce the parmesan cheese but I would add a sprinkle of sugar (yes really) to take theedge off the lemon.Otherwise it's just too tart (at least, for my taste).
