Ingredients

Thai Salad Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce, light
  • 1 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes or do 1/4 tsp for less spice
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons ginger minced

Thai Salad Ingredients

  • 4 ounces chicken
  • 2 cups Romaine Lettuce chopped
  • 1/4 cup red bell pepper diced
  • 1/4 cup purple cabbage shredded
  • 1/4 cup carrots shredded
  • 1-2 tablespoon cilantro chopped
  • 1/4 cup edamame
  • 1 tablespoon chopped almonds
  • 1 teaspoon oil

Instructions

Thai Salad Dressing

  • In a small bowl you will want to add in all your dressing ingredients. Peanut butter, honey, soy sauce, water, vinegar, oil, lime juice, red pepper flakes, garlic, and the ginger.
  • Mix well until nice and creamy and set aside.

Thai Salad

  • In a skillet on the stove, add the oil and then heat on medium heat.
  • The first thing is to take your raw chicken and take just a little of the peant sauce and baste the top side.
  • Place the chicken in the skillet once the oil is hot. Sear for 3-5 minutes per side. When you go to flip the chicken over to cook the other side, baste the other side of the chicken with the peanut sauce.
  • When the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit internally, remove and allow the chicken to rest 5 minutes.
  • Now add your lettuce and all your veggies into the bowl and top with the sliced Thai chicken. Then you can drizzle with your Thai dressing, and enjoy.

Notes

Lime - You can use lemon or lime juice for this recipe. 
Spicy - Use 1/2 teaspoon for a mild flavor or 2 teaspoons for a spicy Thai salad. 
Meal Prep - If you want to meal prep you can store your dressing in a separate container, or add to bottom of a mason jar. Then add edamame and other sturdy veggies, to help act as a barrier. Then lettuce on top. 
Chicken - You want to make sure your chicken reaches 165 degrees F internally. Depending on size of chicken the cook time will vary.
