Ingredients

For the Salad:

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped

2 cups shredded cabbage

1 cup shredded carrots

1/2 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1/4 cup green onions, chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

For the Peanut Dressing:

3 tablespoons peanut butter

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 teaspoon honey (or preferred sweetener)

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked chicken, shredded cabbage, carrots, red bell pepper, green onions, and cilantro.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients until smooth and creamy.

Pour the peanut dressing over the salad mixture and toss until evenly coated.

Serve immediately, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days for easy meal prep.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, swap chicken with tofu or edamame.

Add chopped peanuts or cashews for extra crunch.

Use rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut.

Spice it up with a dash of sriracha or red pepper flakes.
