Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens such as romaine and spinach
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup cucumber thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1/4 cup peanuts chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter for dressing
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce for dressing
  • 2 tablespoons honey for dressing
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar for dressing
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice for dressing
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil for dressing
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic for dressing
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger for dressing
  • Salt and pepper to taste for dressing

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, shredded chicken, carrots, red bell pepper, cucumber, red onion, and cilantro. Toss gently to mix.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, lime juice, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth. If the dressing is too thick, add a little water to reach your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss until everything is well coated.
  4. If using, sprinkle chopped peanuts on top for added crunch.
  5. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.
