Thai Chicken Crunch Salad


This is one of those meals with such interesting flavors that it feels like you're eating at a fancy restaurant. I typically make 1x the recipe and split it between two people for a big meal salad, but it could be a great side dish as well. To make the prep much easier, I buy pre-shredded carrots, red and green cabbage from the grocery store. My grocery store has the shredded green cabbage labelled as 'cole slaw,' and that works great!


Ingredients For The Salad

- 2 shredded chicken breasts (I use the breasts from one rotisserie chicken)

- 2 cups shredded green cabbage

- 2 cups shredded red cabbage

- 1 cup shredded carrot

- 2 bell peppers, julienned (one red and one orange pepper preferred)

- 1 bunch green onion, diced

- 1/2 cup cilantro


Ingredients For The Dressing

- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

- 1 Tablespoon PB2 powder

- Juice of 3 limes

- 1 Tablespoon Sriracha

- 1 teaspoon fish sauce

- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

- 2 Tablespoons soy sauce

- 2 Tablespoons maple syrup or honey

- 1/4 cup cilantro

- 2 Tablespoons water

- Salt to taste


Combine all salad ingredients, toss. Blend all dressing ingredients in a blender or food processor. Toss the dressing with the salad, enjoy!
