Try This Salad for a Change of Pace!
Quick & Easy, Summer

I love to troll around on Pinterest or "use the google," as my sister says, to find new recipes. This one, found at urbanposer.blogspot.com is a big hit --  fresh, easy, and popping with flavor. It is also healthy and very adaptable.

Ingredients

2 cooked and shredded chicken breasts
1 head organic Napa cabbage, sliced thinly
1 cup julienned organic carrots
1 cup julienned organic persian cucumber
1 cup organic green onion tops, thinly sliced
1 cup organic julienned, peeled jicama
1/3 cup organic mint leaves, chopped
1/3 cup organic basil leaves, chopped
1/3 cup organic cilantro, chopped

Directions

Either use leftover chicken or use this method:  Heat about 1/2 inch of salted water in a skillet, gently add the chicken breasts.  Cover and bring to an easy boil.  Simmer for 7 minutes, and then turn the heat off.  Let the chicken sit for an additional 7 minutes.  Lift the chicken onto a plate and let cool slightly, and then shred with two forks. While the chicken is cooking, slice the cabbage, carrots, cucumber, green onion, jicama, and the herbs. Toss together. In a jar or bowl, mix the dressing ingredients together and blend or shake well. Add the chicken to the cabbage mixture, and then add about 2/3 of the dressing. Add more dressing to taste. This is definitely going to be making repeat appearances on our summer table!  I hope you enjoy it as well.
