  • 1 tbsp. rice vinegar

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 12 oz. shredded roasted chicken
  • 12 head green cabbage, cored and shredded
  • 1 rib celery, thinly sliced on the diagonal
  • 1 carrot, julienned

  • 14 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 oz. thinly sliced prosciutto, torn into ribbons
  • 2 tbsp. roughly chopped green olives
