A top-down view of a colorful chicken salad in a wide, shallow dark bowl. The salad consists of shredded rotisserie chicken mixed with a "rainbow slaw" of purple cabbage, kale, and bright yellow bell pepper strips. It is garnished with toasted whole almonds, fresh mint leaves, and a sprinkle of unsweetened shredded coconut. The bowl sits on a rustic dark wooden surface next to a small glass of white wine and a linen napkin.
