CHICKEN AND CABBAGE SALAD WITH MISO-SESAME VINAIGRETTE
This simple salad calls for a specific set of ingredients, but it can also be considered a loose guideline. Thinly sliced leftover steak, shredded salmon or sliced dense tofu could easily take the place of the chicken - and that chicken can be left over from the night before, whether it's been poached, grilled, pan-seared or cooked on a rotisserie. Any crisp, crunchy lettuce will do. You could opt for shredded carrots and diced jicama instead of cucumber and radish, or add a handful of split cherry tomatoes and raw snap peas cut on a bias. As long as the basic balance of protein, dressing, greens, vegetables and herbs is maintained, the rest is up to you and your vegetable drawer.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken with 6 tablespoons miso-sesame vinaigrette. Add remaining ingredients to the bowl, reserving some of the herbs, ginger and onion for garnish. Add another 2 tablespoons vinaigrette and toss to combine. Taste, and adjust seasoning with more dressing, salt or pepper, as desired.
- Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with reserved herbs, ginger and onion, drizzle with a little more dressing, and serve immediately.
