Chicken Salad Slaw With Peanuts and Nori

Chicken Salad Slaw With Peanuts and Nori
David Malosh for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Hadas Smirnoff.

Recipe by Ali Slagle | Total time: 30 minutes

This no-cook, main-dish slaw is all about texture and toppings. The cabbage and shredded chicken is only the beginning. It also has a double dose of savory nutiness from nori and peanuts, a creamy peanut-ginger dressing and refreshing scallions and cucumbers. It’s creamy, crunchy, salty and fresh all at once, satisfying bite after bite. For a vegan option, trade the chicken for a combination of shelled edamame, baked tofu, bean sprouts and cooked whole grains.
