Here is an easy way to use any leftover rotisserie chicken you may have! This is a fairly simple recipe, using dressing made from scratch rather than the sugar-filled store bought dressing. 

Ingredients:
50 g romaine lettuce, chopped
35 g purple cabbage, shredded
20 g carrots, shredded
60 g rotisserie chicken (I used the chicken breast)

Dressing:
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp soy sauce (I used Bragg's Liquid Amino)
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
3/4 tsp almond butter
1/4 tsp erythritol (can use Splenda or Stevia if that's what you have)

Optional: 
1/2 tsp sesame seeds

Add together all of the salad ingredients. Whip together the dressing ingredients until blended and pour onto the salad. If you'd like, you can sprinkle some sesame seeds on top!

I used to hate healthy salads. Don't get me wrong - I loved caesar salads and any greens drenched in ranch dressing, but didn't realize how unhealthy they were. Ahhhh ignorance is bliss. 

This dressing is actually pretty damn delicious and satisfied my caesar salad cravings!

Makes about 6 servings with the following nutritional info:
65 calories, 7.2 g fat, 0 g carbs

Mix together the following with a fork:
1.5 tbsp yellow mustard
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
3 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp salt

Pour liberally over boring lettuce of your choice :)
