For this simple chicken salad, miso (or soy sauce) lends savory depth to the mayo-based dressing while shredded red cabbage adds both crunch and color. For ease, use a store-bought rotisserie chicken; it will yield enough shredded meat for this recipe. Pile the salad onto leafy greens or a bowl of warm rice. This recipe can easily be scaled up or down.
