Thinly slice the cabbage, shred the carrots, and chop the green onions. Toss them together in a large mixing bowl to combine the fresh flavors.
If using fresh chicken, cook it until tender, then shred it. Alternatively, use leftover rotisserie chicken for a quick option. Add it to the vegetable mix.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil until smooth. Adjust the seasoning as needed for a balanced sweet and tangy taste.
Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss everything together. Add the sliced almonds, sesame seeds, and crispy chow mein noodles for extra crunch. For another flavorful meal, check out this Cheesy Mashed Potato Puffs.
Let the salad sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Serve chilled or at room temperature for a refreshing bite. This salad pairs well with grilled meats or rice dishes!
