My family thought I was crazy when I told them I was making a salad with a peanut dressing. They thought it would be gross. Boy were they wrong, it was delicious. My girls said it would be better without the coleslaw, you know, the healthy part, the salad part of the salad. They always make me laugh when they say things like this. I on the other hand loved the crunch the coleslaw gives this salad and it was a nice change from the romaine lettuce salads I have been making.
Thai Chicken Salad
Ingredients:
Salad
- 1 pound coleslaw mix
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped peanuts

Peanut Dressing
- 5 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions:
- In a large bowl, whisk together all of the dressing ingredients. Tase the dressing and adjust to your liking. If the dressing is too thick, add a bit more water to thin out.
