  • Author: Clara Walker
  • Total Time: 13 minute

Ingredients

– 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
– 4 cups mixed salad greens (e.g., romaine, spinach, or arugula)
– 1 cup shredded carrots
– 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
– 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
– 1/2 cup red cabbage, shredded
– 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
– 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
– 1/2 cup unsalted peanuts, roughly chopped


Instructions

Creating Thai Peanut Chicken Salad is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: If you haven’t already, cook your chicken. You can grill, bake, or poach it until fully cooked. Let it cool before shredding or dicing.

2. Chop Vegetables: While the chicken cools, wash and chop your salad ingredients. Slice the bell pepper, cucumber, and green onions. Shred the carrots and red cabbage.

3. Make the Dressing: In a bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and sriracha. Whisk until smooth. If the dressing is too thick, add water a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

4. Combine Ingredients: In a large salad bowl, add the mixed greens, shredded chicken, carrots, bell pepper, cucumber, red cabbage, green onions, and cilantro.

5. Dress the Salad: Drizzle the peanut dressing over the salad. Toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is well coated.

6. Top with Peanuts: Sprinkle the chopped peanuts over the top of the salad for added crunch and flavor.

7. Taste and Adjust: Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more soy sauce, honey, or sriracha based on your preference.

8. Serve Immediately: For the best taste and texture, serve the salad immediately after tossing.

Following these steps will help you create an incredible Thai Peanut Chicken Salad without any hassle.
