This Asian inspired Grilled Chicken Salad is drizzled with a creamy delicious almond butter dressing. It has all the best sweet and spicy flavors, and it’s Paleo and Whole30 compatible!
If you know me you know I loooove sweet and spicy more than almost anything! Do you love the heat and sweet combo too?
Then you need to make this super fresh & crunchy Asian inspired grilled chicken salad! It’s a Whole30 and Paleo compatible version of the well known recipe, inspired by the famous faux Chinese dish.
This salad is filled to the brim with fresh crunchy vegetables and topped with marinated grilled chicken, golden kiwi and mandarins for some juicy sweetness, diced jalapeño for a little heat, and a creamy, nutty almond butter dressing to tie it all together.
I’m telling you, whenever we make this, it’s nearly impossible not to lick the dish afterward!
