Ginger Cashew Chicken Salad

It’s Feast + Devour time again y’all! Every month members of the group share recipes featuring one ingredient as the focus of the recipe and this month the special ingredient is Cabbage. It may not be so great for baking into desserts but it just happens to be a key ingredient in my latest obsession – Ginger Cashew Chicken Salad.

This salad is inspired by a favorite lunch of mine, the Chinese Citrus Cashew Salad with Chicken at Panera. Trust me you don’t even want to know how many times I haven eaten over the past year and a half, it’s kind of embarrassing. I can’t resist a good restaurant that serves real food and has a drive-thru. As a mother of twins Panera drive-thru is a dream, especially for those days when all I want is a sandwich, salad or some soup and can get it without having to drag the circus of more than one baby into a restaurant to achieve it.
