I love this salad so much. I make about a thousand variations on a basic sesame noodle salad. Sometimes I’ll change the protein: seared tuna, skirt steak or even tofu. Sometimes I’ll swap up the veggies/herbs: cabbage goes great, I love cilantro in this one, shredded zucchini works, bell peppers sliced thin are great, fresh peas…really the options are endless. For this version, I had leftover rotisserie chicken and used what I had around. The mangos added a super awesome sweetness, the avocados a rich fatty healthy bite and fresh tomatoes always a win for me.

You can easily make this one with simple ramen noodles and a storebought rotisserie chicken. Add in the veggies that you have and presto, you’ve got yourself a deliciously healthy lunch that can all be mixed up in a single bowl!
