Instructions
- In a mason jar or dressing container mix all the dressing ingredients and mix together well. Let the dressing sit while you make the salad. You can prep the dressing and salad the night before but leave the dressing off until serving.

- Combine cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, green onions, snap peas and cashew pieces in a large bowl. Mix dressing together and pour on top of the salad. Mix together well to evenly coat. You can leave some dressing aside to top your individual pitas later if desired.
- Place one pita on a plate and top with 1 serving of salad and desired serving of grilled chicken breast.
- Top with extra dressing, chopped green onion or sesame seeds.Enjoy

I freaking love this one. Takes a little extra prep time in the beginning but so worth it. Huge portion and very filling and satisfying. I portion everything up and bring it for lunches throughout the week. My coworkers are always jealous when I do.
