Notes

Chicken:Pulled rotisserie chicken works great. You can also cook chicken breasts in the Instant Pot (12 minutes, with about a cup of water, plus salt and pepper) and then shred them.

Cabbage: You want the cabbage to be very thin, like it would be for coleslaw. I did this with a mandoline.

Vegetarian: You can make this with tofu instead of chicken! Just follow one of the methods in this post.

Leftovers / Make Ahead:You can keep this for a few hours once it’s tossed with dressing – like if you make it for lunch, it’ll be pretty okay for dinner. But for best results, keep the leftover salad and dressing separate until ready to serve.
