5-ingredient Chinese chicken salad

This is one of those go-to recipes that checks all the boxes for busy weeks—quick, satisfying, and perfect for meal prep. The best part? It actually holds up in the fridge. Unlike leafy salads that wilt, the cabbage and carrots stay crisp and fresh for days, making this ideal to prep ahead for lunches. No reheating needed—just grab, toss, and eat.
