'Today\'s salad is something you often see on a restaurant menu, but it usually relies on heavy fried Chinese noodles for crunch. I like to take a fresher approach to adding texture to an Asian chicken salad. I swap red cabbage for the fried noodles and toss in carrots and fresh herbs. Then I dress it with a spicy, citrusy vinaigrette that\'s fairly low in fat. The recipe calls for shredded chicken, so it\'s a great way to make use of leftover or rotisserie chicken. But I like to poach a couple breasts for this recipe — it\'s a great way to prepare chicken for salads. Sarah\'s Tip of the Day: Watch, and I\'ll show you the right way to poach so that your chicken turns out as silky and succulent as it is flavorful. All you\'ll need is a little water and a few key aromatics. I\'m using ginger, lemon, and garlic, but you could use any flavor combination you like. Once you\'ve mastered this poaching technique, the chicken salad options are endless!
