I always make a big batch of the dressing and just store it in my fridge to use anytime I\u2019m in the mood for this salad.\u00a0 Just make sure to dress the salad right before eating so your veggies stay crisp and fresh.<\/p>\n Make a little extra ginger-sesame dressing to marinate your chicken with for even more flavor in this salad!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Absolutely!\u00a0 In fact I love prepping everything in advance so that I can easily throw this salad together for an easy lunch or as a delicious side dish with my dinner.\u00a0 In order for the lettuce and cabbage to stay fresh and prevent wilting, I like to store everything in separate containers until I\u2019m ready to assemble and toss together.<\/p>\n This Asian chicken salad will last up to 2 to 3 days<\/strong> stored in a sealed, airtight container in the fridge.<\/p>\n Pin this now to find it later<\/p>\n Pin It<\/a><\/div>\n Hope you all enjoy this Chinese Chicken Salad and if you love this as much as we do, please leave me \u2b50\ufe0f\u2b50\ufe0f\u2b50\ufe0f\u2b50\ufe0f\u2b50\ufe0f below and don\u2019t forget to tag me on\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0using the hashtag #eatyourselfskinny!
