Crunchy Thai Chili-Lime Chicken Salad

with Peanuts, Scallions & Cilantro

Get ready for all the Thai flavors you love in a 10-minute salad! First you’ll make a sweet, hot, and tangy chili-lime dressing to toss with crisp lettuce, scallions, and carrots. Top with bite-size pieces of juicy fully cooked chicken, then drizzle on more dressing, sprinkle with peanuts, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime, and dig right in! After lunch, you’ll be left feeling satisfied—not overstuffed—and with the slightest spicy tingle on the tongue to remember it by.
