Asian Chicken Slaw Salad

"A truly nourishing salad, this combines lean protein from the chicken to support muscle recovery and immunity, with a generous portion of fibre from the vegetables to support energy levels and gut health. The dressing adds vibrant flavour alongside antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds to support immunity, heart health and brain function. The cabbage also provides hormone support and cancer-preventive properties," says nutritional therapist Alexa Mullane.
