Chicken Cabbage Salad
The cabbage part of this dish is quite crunchy in itself, but the almonds provide extra texture and a rich nutty flavor. Almonds are the fruit of the almond tree, and are a stellar source of monounsaturated fats, which support a healthy cardiovascular system and reduce cholesterol.
Almonds are also high in vitamin E, manganese, copper, and magnesium.

Cooking Tip
This salad is a variation of coleslaw, a dish that gets better tasting as it sits. If you have the time, make the slaw portion of the salad and combine it with the dressing the day before you need it, and add the chicken, cilantro, and almonds just before serving.
