  1. Start by removing the skin from the rotisserie chicken, then use your hands or a fork to shred the meat into bite-sized pieces, placing it in a large salad bowl.
  2. Next, finely chop about 2 cups of red cabbage, and slice 2 medium carrots into thin rounds. Also, chop the green onions. Add the veggies to the bowl with the chicken.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together your homemade Asian salad dressing, using ingredients like soy sauce, sesame oil, and a hint of honey.

  5. To maintain the freshness of your salad, keep the dressing on the side until you're ready to serve.
