Trying to find this cold chicken, cabbage and almond salad recipe?

I had this salad at a social function and have been trying to find the recipe from the lady that makes it. No luck so far. The salad was not cooked, served cold and had diced chicken breast, shredded cabbage, almonds and a light creamy taste. It was great. Appreciate it if any has a recipe like this one that I could try.Trying to find this cold chicken, cabbage and almond salad recipe?
I make this one for my son all the time. He just loves it


Don't let it sit for too long or it gets soggy. I suggest chilling all ingredients and adding dressing about 30 minutes before serving. I like to throw in some pine nuts or cashews for different crunchy texture.

You don't really need a recipe if you know what the main flavor was to the dressing. Just put your shredded cabbage in a bowl with your diced chicken, and slivered almonds (lightly toasted to bring up the flavor....and add your dressing. Now I would add chopped green onions and a fruit such as mandarin, pineapple or thin sliced apple.





For the dressing it depends...if it had an Asian flavor then go with the one above for Chinese Chicken salad. But I like a creamy Lemon Honey Dressing which is just Mayo +juice of 1 lemon + some zest and a drizzle of honey to taste. Simple and good. A teaspoon or less of sweet paprika gives it a nice flavor and color with apples. Always a little S and P...
