Nappa cabbage salad with Chicken

This salad is AWESOME!!! We all loved it, and this cabbage is way high on the Nutrient Density Index. Nappa cabbage is much less rubbery than regular cabbage. The white parts are similar to bok choy but the leafy parts are much more like a lettuce. Very refreshing for a summer day.

1/2 large head of Nappa Cabbage chopped
3 scallions chopped
2 carrots julienned
1 cup slivered almonds
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 cup fresh bean sprouts

1 tablespoon sugar
4 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon lime juice
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
