- 1 rotisserie chicken shredded
- 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
- 1 cup green cabbaged shredded thin
- 1 cup red cabbage shredded thin
- 1 head of romaine sliced
- 1 watermelon radish sliced into matchsticks
- 1 cup snow peas slices thin lengthwise

- 3 Siete cassava or almond tortillas
- CARROT GINGER DRESSING
- 1/3 cup olive oil

- 3 tbsp lime juice

In a small skillet, add the almonds and saute on low making sure to toss it so it doesn't burn. Cook until lightly toasted.
WONTONS: Meanwhile, set oven to broil. Slice the tortillas into little strips so they resemble wonton chips. Spread them evenly on a baking dish and broil for just a few minutes. Keep an eye on them because they cook fast. They take about 3 minutes or so and can burn quickly so be watchful.
CARROT DRESSING: add all the ingredients into a small blender or food processor and blend well. Set aside.
CHICKEN SALAD: In a very large bowl add all the ingredients and toss. (EXCEPT Wontons and avocados)
In a bowl, divide the salad amongst for bowls. Top with avocado, and wontons. Add the dressing and enjoy.
