Cilantro-Lime Chopped Chicken Salad

Salads get a bad rap. From bland and boring to flavorless and tired, salads are too often the spotlight of a #saddesklunch. We’re here to change that! This flavor-packed salad will add a much-needed zing to your lunch (or dinner!) that will have you dreaming of leftovers. 

We love this recipe because it’s loaded with protein (23g per serving!) thanks to pre-cooked rotisserie chicken. The lime juice adds the perfect kick of brightness to each bite and the cabbage provides a crunch that can’t be beaten. 

Ingredients:

4	Cups cooked chicken, shredded
16	Cups cabbage, finely shredded
3	Cups Shredded Carrot
2	Bell peppers, thinly sliced
3/4	Cup green onions, sliced (6-8 green onions)
3/4	Cup cilantro, chopped
	Zest of 2 Limes

1/3	Cup lime juice (1-5 limes)
1/3	Cup olive oil
1	Tsp cumin
1/2	Tsp salt, more to taste if desired
2	Tsp honey
1	Garlic clove, minced
	Chili powder, if desired

Steps:
