Ingredients
3 cups shredded cooked chicken
2 cups shredded purple cabbage
1 cup shredded green cabbage
1 avocado, diced
1 mango, peeled, pitted and diced
1 large carrot, julienned or shredded
1 red pepper, cored and julienned or diced
1 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup chopped cashews or peanuts
1/2 cup natural peanut butter
2–3 tablespoons hot water
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
Juice of 1 lime
Pinch of red pepper flakes
Instructions
1-Start with your protein: ensure you have 3 cups of shredded cooked chicken. If youβre cooking fresh chicken, grill or bake it until fully cooked, then let it rest before shredding.
2-Prepare your cabbages: shred 2 cups of purple cabbage and 1 cup of green cabbage. Alternating these creates a beautiful color contrast.
3-Dice 1 ripe avocado and 1 mango (peeled and pitted). These creamy fruits add a luxurious texture and natural sweetness.
4-Julienne or shred 1 large carrot for crunch and vibrant orange color.
5-Core and julienne or dice 1 red pepper for a crisp, slightly sweet element.
6-Roughly chop 1 cup of fresh cilantro leaves and 1/2 cup of green onions for fresh, aromatic flavor.
7-Prepare your topping chop 1/4 cup of cashews or peanuts for that delightful crunch.
1-In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup of natural peanut butter.
2-Add 2 tablespoons each of rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, and honey.
3-Squeeze in the juice of 1 fresh lime a game-changer for brightness!
4-Drizzle in 1/4 teaspoon of sesame oil for that authentic Thai flavor.
5-Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick (adjust to your heat preference).
6-Whisk everything together until smooth and well combined.
7-If your dressing is too thick, add hot water one teaspoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency. The dressing should be pourable but not watery.
1-In a large bowl, combine all your salad ingredients: start with the shredded cabbages, then add the shredded chicken, carrot, red pepper, avocado, mango, cilantro, and green onions.
2-Toss everything together gently until well combined. You want each bite to have a little bit of everything!
3-Sprinkle chopped cashews or peanuts on top for that perfect crunch.
4-For serving, you have two options: drizzle the dressing over individual portions just before eating, or toss the entire salad with the dressing for a more integrated flavor.
5-Serve immediately for maximum freshness and crunch!
