When I was first dating my now-husband, we enjoyed going to the Medford Café. They served a humongous Asian chicken salad that I loved. It was surrounded by mandarin oranges and crunchy rice noodles and smothered in a sweet Asian dressing. Here is my ketogenic version!
Ingredients
Dressing
- 0.33 cup coconut vinegar or unseasoned rice vinegar
- ¼ cup coconut aminos or wheat-free tamari
- 3 tablespoons Swerve confectioners’-style sweetener or equivalent amount of liquid or powdered sweetener
- 3 tablespoons MCT oil
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon untoasted, cold-pressed sesame oil
- 4 drops of orange oil or 1 teaspoon orange extract
Salad
- 1 cup chopped romaine lettuce
- ½ cup chopped napa cabbage
- ½ cup coarsely chopped cooked chicken
For garnish
- 1 tablespoon thinly sliced green onions
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped purple cabbage
- ¼ cup finely diced cucumbers
- 2 tablespoons slivered almonds (omit for nut-free)
How to Make It

To make the dressing
- Place all the dressing ingredients in a jar with a lid. Cover and shake well to combine. Add more salt, sweetener, or orange oil if desired.
