Keto Chinese Chicken Salad
I love this recipe for Keto Chinese Chicken Salad. I can enjoy all of my favorite flavors at home and stay on program. If you are not on the keto program feel free to add chow mein noodles.
Ingredients

- 2 Tbsp. canola oil

Instructions
Asian Dressing:
- In a small bowl, combine oil, vinegar, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil. Whisk until fully combined.
- Allow dressing to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes for flavors to blend while preparing the rest of the salad. Or, refrigerate for up to 4 days.
Salad:
- In a large salad bowl combine the cabbage, romaine lettuce, chicken, carrots, scallions, and cilantro. Remix up the dressing to recombine and drizzle over the salad.
