Jean's Chinese Cabbage Salad

Submitted by Jan Marie

"If you like a salad with a crunch, this one is for you. My sister-in-law Jean made this for lunch years ago and gave me the recipe. I just made it again today and was reminded what a unique and delicious salad this is. I'm lazy and bought a cooked Costco chicken and boned and diced it, but home made will work too. I also used a bag of pre-packaged cole slaw cabbage and pre-packaged shredded carrots to avoid all the chopping. Enjoy"
