  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced on a bias
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced into 2-inch strips

  • FOR THE DRESSING:
  • 1 lime, zest and juice
  • 1/2 cup creamy almond butter
  • 1/2 cup tamari
  • 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp. sriracha
  • 2 tbsp. honey

  1. In a large bowl combine the green and red cabbage, chicken, green onions, bell pepper, cilantro and sesame seeds. Toss.

  2. In a blender combine everything for the dressing and blend until smooth.
