For dressing
- 3 tablespoons lime juice 2 limes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon garlic chili sauce
For salad
- 1 cup carrots shredded
- 1 cup green papaya shredded
- 1 cup cucumber peeled, seeded, and sliced
- 2 cups bok choy sliced
- 1 red chili pepper sliced
- 2 chicken breasts cooked, shredded or cut in small pieces
- ¼ cup mint chopped
- ½ cup slivered almonds or peanuts
- 3 cups green cabbage shredded
Make the dressing: Whisk all the ingredients for the dressing together in a bowl or give them a shake in a mason jar. You can microwave the peanut butter for 10-15 seconds to soften it for easier mixing if needed.
Mix the salad: Add all the salad ingredients to a large bowl along with the dressing. Toss everything well, serve, and enjoy!
- If you anticipate leftovers, I would leave the dressing off the salad and toss as needed. The veggies tend to get soggy after a day sitting with the dressing and are not as appetizing.
- This salad will last 4 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
