1 Tablespoon soy sauce
Juice of 1 lemon
3 Tablespoons sugar(can substitute Stevia)

1/2 cup almond slivers or slices
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup toasted sunflower seeds
1 crisp pear or apple, diced in small chunks
*Optional: 1 1/2 pounds grilled chicken, diced

Directions:

1. Combine the dressing ingredients in a sealed jar and shake until combined. Chill in the frig while making the rest of the salad.
2. Toast the almonds at 350 degrees for about 5 – 10 minutes until lightly browned.
3. Approximately 30 minutes before serving, combine the slaw ingredients and then toss with part of the dressing. Taste and then add more dressing, as needed.
