To make your Thai chicken salad with peanut dressing, you’ll need the following ingredients:

Salad Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (or you can use rotisserie chicken for convenience)
• 4 cups mixed salad greens (such as romaine, spinach, and arugula)
• 1 cup shredded carrots (adds a crunchy texture)
• 1 cup red cabbage, finely sliced (for that vibrant color)
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced (great for sweetness)
• ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped (adds aromatic flavor)
• ½ cup chopped peanuts (for the perfect crunch)

Peanut Dressing Ingredients:

• ¼ cup natural peanut butter (for creaminess)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (adds umami)
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (to balance the flavors)
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (for acidity)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil (adds depth)
• 1–2 teaspoons lime juice (to brighten the dish)
• 1 clove garlic, minced (for that extra punch)
• Water to thin if necessary

Substitution Suggestions:

• Swap chicken for tofu or chickpeas for a vegetarian option.
• Use almond butter instead of peanut butter for a different nutty flavor.
• Try sunflower seeds if you’re allergic to nuts.
