1. To make the dressing, combine all the ingredients: the toasted sesame oil, honey, orange or apricot jam, freshly squeezed orange juice, orange zest, rice vinegar, grated ginger, garlic, ground turmeric, and sesame seeds in a glass jar. Whisk to combine, ensuring the mixture is well blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste, which will elevate the flavors even further.
2. Next, in a large salad bowl, combine the shredded cabbage/kale, cooked shredded rotisserie chicken, chopped cilantro/Thai basil, and jalapeños. This vibrant mix of ingredients forms the base of your salad, so give it a gentle toss to distribute everything evenly.
3. Pour over half of the dressing you prepared in the first step. Toss the salad to coat the greens thoroughly with the dressing. This ensures every bite is flavorful and packed with taste.
4. Now it’s time to add the remaining ingredients. Gently fold in the avocados, roasted salted cashews, and chopped green onions. This is where the salad really comes alive with texture and flavor.
5. Finally, add the crispy wontons. These will give the salad a delightful crunch that contrasts beautifully with the creaminess of the avocado and the tenderness of the chicken. Pour over the remaining dressing and give everything a final toss to combine.
6. Your Crispy Wonton Rotisserie Chicken Salad is now ready to enjoy! Serve it immediately to maintain the crispiness of the wontons, and watch as everyone digs in.
