Ingredients
  

  • 1 Chicken breast Greensbury
  • 1 box Jovial pasta
  • 1 Head cabbage thinly sliced
  • 1 Cucumber diced
  • 1 Bell pepper I like Red
  • 1 Large carrot diced
  • 1 bag snap peas roughly chopped
  • 4 Green onions thinly sliced
  • Cilantro chopped

Asian Dressing

  • ¼ cup Coconut aminos
  • ¼ cup Rice wine vinegar
  • ¼ cup Avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon Tahini
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Cook your chicken breast in your desired way- I use my InstantPot and cook it for 13 minutes. You can also grill, bake, or sautee until your chicken is cooked through. Then shred or chop it.
  • Cook your pasta to the directions on the box, then rinse it with cold water so it doesn't cook your veggies in the salad.
  • Chop all your veggies and combine in a large mixing bowl.
  • Combine all the dressing ingredients in a mason jar or bowl. Whisk until combined.
  • Dress your salad and enjoy! If you are saving the salad for multiple meals, only dress when you are ready to eat.

Notes

  • If you really don't feel like cooking- use a rotisserie chicken.
  • If you have no need to be gluten or grain-free, then use any pasta you like!
  • For a Whole30- leave the pasta out, sub with jicama sticks, zoodles, or any other of your favorite veggie noodles.
  • If you don't want to make a dressing- buy your favorite Asian flavored dressing to save you a few steps.
