    Crunchy red cabbage, succulent corn, and tender chicken are mixed in creamy dressing. Who can resist this healthy and colorful salad? I know I can't. That's why I am making it weekly and can't get enough of it.

    You know what else is great about this salad? You can serve it in red cabbage leaves to add some extra color and skip the dishes. This makes a beautiful presentation and saves time—making this dish perfect for the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. I love serving this recipe during the holidays because it so so pretty on my table and my friends and family can't get enough! It is also very easy to make this salad. Besides the dressing ingredients, you'll need a small red cabbage, a can of Del Monte® Golden Sweet Whole Kernel Corn, and some leftover chicken.

    RED CABBAGE

    Even though it is one of the healthiest vegetables around, we don't consume enough red cabbage. It is easy to find, as it is sold in most grocery stores and farmer’s markets. For this salad, you'll need a small head of fresh red cabbage.

    CORN

    I use canned corn, since fresh corn is not in season. I recommend using Del Monte Sweet Whole Kernel Corn, since it is the best canned corn on the market. Del Monte's products are picked at the peak of freshness, and they are delicious & convenient. This brand has been farming for over 130 years.  I love that Del Monte canned corn has only three ingredients: corn, water, and sea salt. The corn is non-GMO, and grown in the US by local farmers and packed within 75 miles of the farm where they are picked. Del Monte products are always the highest quality and I have been loyal to this brand for many years. Their products can be found at your local grocery store or supercenter. Use this handy store locator to find the nearest store or buy online.

    CHICKEN

    Use any leftover cooked chicken in this recipe. Grilled, boiled, fried, and rotisserie chicken will work well.

      I've always buy the frozen corn. So do you think would just as well?

      This recipe looks amazing Tania! Cabbage salads are my favorite -- and the corn must add the best pop of sweetness! Need to meal prep this.
