Asian Chicken Cranberry Coleslaw

This easy Asian inspired salad is great for dinner on a hot summer night and will have them coming back for more! 

Ingredients:

12 cups bagged coleslaw mix

4 cups chopped rotisserie chicken

1 1/2 cups toasted cashews

1 1/2 cups dried cranberries

3/4 cup diced red onion

handful of chopped fresh parsley

2 - 10 oz (284 ml) cans mandarin oranges, drained

3-4 tbsps black sesame seeds

Dressing:

1 cup light olive oil

1/2 cup rice wine vinegar

4 tbsps low sodium soya sauce

4 tsps minced garlic

4 tbsps honey

4 tbsps minced ginger

2 tsps sesame oil

In a large bowl, mix the coleslaw, cashews, cranberries, onion, mandarins and sesame seeds together. In a blender, combine the dressing ingredients. When ready to serve add the chicken and parsley to the bowl along with as much dressing as you like. I used about half and will use the rest in another salad or maybe even use it as a marinade.

This salad serves 10 as a side and 4 or 5 as a meal.

It's best eaten the same day but leftovers are still pretty good a couple of days later.
