Ingredients

  • 4 cups cabbage red or green, shredded
  • 1 red bell pepper (seeded and diced)
  • 1 cup carrot shredded
  • 12 ounces chicken breast such as rotisserie, shredded, cooked
  • ½ cup scallions (minced)
  • ½ cup cilantro (minced)
  • ½ cup peanuts minced, roasted
Creamy Peanut Dressing
  • 3 tablespoons peanut butter creamy natural
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoons rice vinegar Nakano Natural brand
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon chili paste (optional)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • water optional, warm, to thin

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all of the salad ingredients to a large bowl (cabbage through roasted peanuts); set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together dressing (peanut butter through garlic) until smooth. Add a bit of warm water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to thin if you prefer a thinner consistency. Note: you may need to add additional salt to taste. 
  3. Drizzle dressing over the salad and toss well. Check for seasoning before serving and adjust accordingly.

Notes

  • I love prepping this salad ahead each week. I keep the dressing on the side and toss right before serving. It’s perfect with leftover shredded rotisserie chicken.
