Instructions
- In a large bowl combine lettuce, kale, cabbage, green onions, edamame, cilantro, carrots, bell peppers, chicken, and wonton strips.
- In a food processor or blender combine all dressing ingredients and pulse 20-30 seconds. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time to thin, as needed. Pour over salad and toss just before serving.
Notes
- Don't dress this salad until right before you're going to eat it or it will run the risk of getting soggy too quickly.
- The dressing will keep in the mason jar for up to a week. Be sure to shake or whisk before using to combine any settled ingredients.
- Slice the cabbage into very thin pieces so that you can eat it without cutting your salad.
- Carrot matchsticks work well in this Thai salad but you could also use carrot dices or thin sliced rounds.
