This tropical chicken salad is the perfect pre- or post-workout meal. It has plenty of protein and fiber, vitamins, minerals, and a lovely sweet and sour taste. Try using fresh pineapple if you can, as it’s tastier. You can use red or green cabbage. I love red for its bright color and tend to grab it before the green cabbage in the supermarket.
