Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast shredded
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens such as romaine, spinach, and arugula
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cucumber thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup red cabbage shredded
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1/4 cup green onions sliced
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1-2 teaspoons water to thin, if needed

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, shredded chicken, carrots, bell pepper, cucumber, red cabbage, cilantro, and green onions. Toss gently to combine.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, lime juice, and sesame oil until smooth. If the dressing is too thick, add water one teaspoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  3. Drizzle the peanut dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes to enhance flavors before serving.
