Ingredients
Salad
- 1/2 cup poached chicken
- 1/2 cup green cabbage
- 1/2 cup red cabbage
- 1/2 cup cucumber, sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded carrot
- 1/2 cup edamame beans
Dressing
- 1 tbsp natural peanut butter (I used smooth)
- 1 tbsp tamari or all-purpose soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce (see note 1 for subs)
- 1 tbsp lime juice (see note 2 for subs)
- 1 tsp fried shallots (optional)
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Arrange chicken, cabbage, carrot, cucumber and edamame in a bowl.
- Combine dressing ingredients, and drizzle over salad. Top with fried shallots and sesame seeds if using.
Notes
Note 1 – You can substitute the sweet chilli for honey or maple syrup. If you would like a chilli hit, add 1 tsp sriracha.
Note 2 – Use rice wine vinegar, white vinegar or apple cider vinegar as a lime juice substitute.
MAKE AHEAD – Prepare the chicken and salad ingredients 48 hours in advance. Refrigerate for up to 2 days, ensuring you keep the dressing separate.
LEFTOVERS – Once combined with the dressing, the salad is best served and eaten immediately as the salad starts to soften. Leftovers can, however, be stored and consumed within 24 hours.
