Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens such as romaine, spinach, and arugula
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup cucumber thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1/4 cup green onions sliced
  • 1/4 cup peanuts chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter for dressing
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce for dressing
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice for dressing
  • 1 tablespoon honey for dressing
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil for dressing
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic for dressing
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger for dressing
  • 1-2 tablespoons water to thin dressing, if needed

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, shredded chicken, carrots, red bell pepper, cucumber, cilantro, and green onions. Toss gently to combine.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until smooth. If the dressing is too thick, add water a tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  3. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss until everything is evenly coated.
  4. If using, sprinkle chopped peanuts on top for added crunch.
  5. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes before serving for a refreshing taste.
