Cabbage Salad With Honey Lime Dressing

This cabbage salad uses a store-bought rotisserie chicken to create a quick, easy, and healthy meal. Your whole family will love it.

Long story short, I love rotisserie chickens but we rarely ever eat them as is. The rotisserie chicken typically ends up in a salad or pasta of some sort, or a sandwich or soup. The possibilities are so fun!

We love this salad made of crunchy cabbage, sugar snap peas, carrots, mandarin oranges and a great honey-lime dressing. Lots of great veggies and fresh flavors. And yes, meat from the rotisserie chicken. I think your whole family will love it! Rather have vegetarian? Substitute black beans or tofu for the chicken. Healthy and simple delicious dinner!
