- For the salad: Remove the skin from the chicken and shred the meat with a fork.

Tips:
- Use a variety of cabbage. This recipe calls for green cabbage, but you can also use red cabbage or a mix of both. If using red cabbage, be sure to use a little less vinegar, as it can be more tart than green cabbage.
- Slice the cabbage thinly. This will help it to absorb the dressing and make it easier to eat.
- Use fresh oranges. The zest and juice of fresh oranges add a bright, citrusy flavor to the salad. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use bottled orange juice, but be sure to use 100% orange juice and not a juice blend.
- Add some sweetness. The dressing for this salad is slightly sweet, thanks to the addition of sugar. If you prefer a sweeter salad, you can add more sugar or even honey to taste. If you are on a ketogenic diet, you can substitute powdered sweetener that is keto friendly.
- Chill the salad before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and make the salad even more refreshing.
Conclusion:
This Swedish cabbage and orange salad is a healthy and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a light and healthy salad, give this one a try!
