Equipment
Ingredients
Salad:
- 1 package (16 ounces) coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
- 4 medium green onions, thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Chopped peanuts for topping (optional)
Dressing:
- 1/3 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/3 cup natural peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha hot sauce
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, toss together the coleslaw mix, chicken, green onions and cilantro.
- Make the dressing by whisking together the lime juice, soy sauce, peanut butter, honey, Sriracha chili sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger and sesame oil until well blended.
- Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss until well coated. Can be refrigerated for 1 hour before serving.
- Divide the slaw evenly between 6 plates or large bowls.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day. I've found that these leftovers don't keep for too long once dressed. The slaw will retain a slight crunch, but will also begin to turn soggy and limp after one day.
