Step 1:

How do you make a salad with smoked chicken breast and napa cabbage? A very simple, delicious salad. Start by gathering the ingredients from the list. You can swap the smoked breast meat for meat from drumsticks or thighs. Use any cheese you like. And any vegetable oil — I used olive.
Step 2:

Remove the skin and bones from the smoked breast and cut it into strips. You can also just pull the meat apart into shreds.
Step 3:

Wash the napa cabbage, dry it, and cut it into strips. You can cut a whole head or pull it apart into separate leaves. If you want a more tender salad, cut out the white parts in the center of the leaves.
Step 4:

Cut the tomato into small pieces. Use juicy but firm tomatoes. Soft ones don't hold their shape well; as you cut and prepare them they'll fall apart into a shapeless mush and spoil the look of the dish.
Step 5:

Grate the cheese on a coarse or medium grater.
Step 6:

Wash and dry the herbs. Cut the green onion into rings and finely chop the parsley. You can supplement or replace these with other herbs to taste.
Step 7:

In a salad bowl, combine the smoked chicken, napa cabbage, tomato, cheese, and herbs. Add the garlic, pressed through a garlic press.
Step 8:

Dress the salad with vegetable oil, salt to taste, and toss.
Step 9:

You can serve the salad right in the bowl, or pack it into a 14 cm food ring.
Step 10:

Right before serving, carefully lift off the food ring and serve the salad right away. Enjoy!

You can replace the napa cabbage with regular white cabbage. Besides the listed ingredients, you can add your own to taste — bell pepper and cucumbers work well.
Since everyone's preference for saltiness, sweetness, bitterness, spiciness, tanginess, and heat is different, always add spices and seasonings to your own taste! If you're using a seasoning for the first time, keep in mind that some spices are especially easy to overdo (chili pepper, for example).
