Ingredients

Dressing:

  • ½ cup Primal Kitchen Mayo
  • 3 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • ½ tsp Himalayan pink salt
  • 1 tsp local organic honey (optional)

Cabbage Slaw:

  • 2 cups green cabbage
  • 2 cups red cabbage
  • 2 tbsp Himalayan pink salt
  • 2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 1 avocado, thinly sliced

Directions

  1. For the dressing, mix mayo, lime juice and salt together. Add honey to taste (optional).
  2. For the cabbage slaw, slice green and red cabbage thinly and transfer to a colander.
  3. Toss cabbage with salt (salt will pull water out of cabbage, leaving it crunchy rather than soggy) and let sit for 1-2 hours.
  4. Drain the cabbage, then rinse it to pull excess salt.
  5. Place the cabbage in a bowl and toss with the dressing to create slaw. 
  6. Layer slaw, then shredded chicken and sliced avocado.
  7. Top with cilantro and serve with a few squeezes of fresh lime juice.
