Ingredients for Keto Peanut Chicken Salad

Here’s what you need for the recipe.

• Cooked chicken. The perfect recipe to use leftover roasted chicken, or even a store-bought rotisserie chicken. No shame in the game.
• Fresh garlic. Crush the cloves with the side of your knife, or easier still, use a microplane to grate them into a paste.
• Fresh ginger. Scrape the peel off with a knife or even the back of a spoon. You can mince it with a knife if you feel confident in your skills — but it’s just as easy to grate it with a microplane.
• Shredded cabbage or cabbage slaw mix. Crunchy and full of nutrients.
• Soy sauce, gluten-free tamari, or coconut aminos. Whatever floats your boat.
• Green onions, cilantro, and any other veggies you’d like to add. Feel free to make it your own.

How to make Thai Peanut Chicken Salad

First, we make the dressing. Add both the wet and dry dressing ingredients together in a medium bowl, and whisk to combine. The peanut butter will make the dressing smooth, creamy, and flavorful.

Toss in the shredded veggies — or open a bag of pre-shredded slaw mix — and stir to coat with the dress.

Add your cooked chicken, and toss to coat with the dressing.

Chill until ready to serve, and pat yourself on the back for making such a healthy and tasty salad.
