Description

This Thai-inspired chopped chicken salad is fresh, crunchy, and full of bold flavor thanks to a creamy peanut-lime dressing. It’s loaded with veggies, tender chicken, and herbs for a protein-packed, vibrant meal that’s perfect for lunch or dinner.


Ingredients

For the Salad:

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped

  • 2 cups shredded green cabbage

  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage

  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

  • 1 cup shredded carrots

  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions

  • 1/2 cup chopped peanuts (for topping)

For the Peanut Dressing:

  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

  • Juice of 1 lime

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1-2 tablespoons warm water (to thin as needed)

  • Optional: 1/2-1 teaspoon sriracha or chili paste, for heat


Instructions

  1. Make the Dressing:
    In a small bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients until smooth and creamy. Add warm water a little at a time to thin to desired consistency.

  2. Assemble the Salad:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked chicken, green and red cabbage, bell pepper, carrots, cilantro, and green onions.

  3. Dress the Salad:
    Pour the peanut dressing over the salad and toss to coat everything evenly.

  4. Serve:
    Top with chopped peanuts and extra herbs if desired. Serve immediately or chill for 15 minutes to let flavors meld.


Notes

  • Great for meal prep—store salad and dressing separately until ready to eat.

  • Make it vegetarian by swapping chicken for edamame or crispy tofu.

  • Add chopped mango or cucumber for a refreshing twist.
