Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large serving bowl, generously spread the coleslaw mix as your crunchy base.
Layer the chopped rotisserie chicken over the coleslaw mix, followed by crunchy nuts, dried cranberries, and diced onion.
Make the dressing by blending olive oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, honey, ginger, toasted sesame oil, and water until smooth.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat the ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve, keeping the dressing separate until serving.
