Thai Chicken Salad

Say goodbye to boring salads! This Thai Chicken Salad is chock-full of crunchy cabbage, kale, carrots, green onions, edamame, and juicy chicken, all topped off with a scrumptious, easy-to-make peanut/soy/lime dressing.

Make one of those everything-but-the-kitchen-sink salads but give it a little zing and make it Thai-inspired. That’s right, that was basically my entire thought process behind this Asian chicken salad. Take all the crunchy, healthy lettuce, two kinds of cabbage, kale, edamame, green onions, carrots, and more and top it off with sliced chicken and a to-die-for simple peanut dressing. Do not sleep on this delicious recipe! Somehow light and hearty at the same time, you’ll want to make it again and again!
