Thai Chicken Salad
Thai chicken salad with juicy shredded chicken, healthy crunchy veggies, and that peanut dressing we all live for, it's a must make!
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
Peanut dressing
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil, or other mild-tasting oil
- 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
- 1-2 cloves garlic
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1-2 tsp chili paste
- 1 1/2 tsp minced ginger, or ginger paste
Salad
- 3 cups shredded Savoy cabbage, loosely packed. *See Notes
- 2 cups shredded red cabbage , loosely packed *See Notes
- 2 small carrots, peeled and shredded
- 1/2 lb shredded chicken
- 1 bell pepper, cut in thin strips. *I used 1/2 yellow and 1/2 red, for lots of color
- 1 cup chopped or sliced cucumber
- 1 cup snap peas, sliced on an angle
- 6 small green onions, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, rough chopped
Garnish
- roasted salted peanuts
- sesame seeds
Instructions
- Blend the dressing ingredients with an immersion blender or in a small food processor. Taste to adjust any of the ingredients. If you find the dressing too thick, you can thin it with a little more vegetable oil and vinegar.
- Prep your ingredients. You can shred the vegetables the morning ahead, and keep wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator, if you like.
- Arrange or toss the salad ingredients into a salad bowl. I like to use a wide shallow bowl to show off all the colors and textures.
- Toss the salad with enough dressing to moisten well, but you may not need all of it.
- Serve the salad garnished with peanuts and sesame seeds. Serve any extra dressing on the side.
Notes
Shred Savoy and red cabbage on 1/8- inch setting of mandoline slicer, or use a very sharp knife.
