Thai Chicken Salad with Peanut Sauce

This Thai Chicken Salad with Peanut Sauce is a delight for the senses. I will eat it in any season, but I especially appreciate it in the dull winter months, as it is so colourful and fresh! The vegetables are easy to find year round and they all hold their crunch long after the salad is made making this the perfect salad to keep in you fridge for the week and add to wraps, bowls. The dressing is super simple to make out of pantry staples - but you can also buy peanut sauce if that is more your style.

1x2x3x

Salad

• ½ Head Red Cabbage Thinly sliced

• 3 stalks Green Onion Diced
• 2 Carrots peeled and spiralized (or julienned)

Peanut Sauce

• ½ Cup Peanut Butter (Smooth and Creamy)
• 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
• 2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup or honey
• 1 Teaspoon Chili Garlic Sauce
• ½ Lime juiced. (About 2 Tablespoons of Lime Juice)
• ¼ Cup Water

Toppings

Instructions

 

Salad

• Wash all of the produce. Thinly slice the cabbage. Thinly Slice the Bell Pepper, Cut the broccoli into small bite sized pieces. Dice the green onion. Spiralize or cut the carrots. Chop the cilantro. Add to a large salad bowl.

Sauce

• In a separate bowl, mix the ingredients and whisk vigorously until combined. Its going to look ugly before it looks smooth and creamy. Keep mixing 🙂

Toppings

• Cook the chicken. I just like to season simply with salt and pepper and cook on my indoor grill press. You can also cook in a 400°F oven for 20 minutes.

Assemble

• Pour the sauce over the vegetables and stir to combine. Add the chicken, crushed peanuts and a lime wedge to each serving.
