- To make the dressing, combine 1 cup of light coconut milk, 2 teaspoons of sesame oil, ¼ cup of lime juice, 2 teaspoons of reduced-sodium soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of minced fresh ginger root, 1 teaspoon of rice vinegar and 1 teaspoon of honey in a medium bowl. Whisk together until all ingredients are well combined.
- Assemble the salad in a large bowl by adding the cooked chicken cubes, ¼ cup of snow peas, 1 mango cut into chunks, ⅛ cup of cashew nuts, ¼ cup of shredded sweetened coconut, 1 teaspoon of grated lime peel, ½ teaspoon of red curry paste and 1 teaspoon of minced fresh cilantro. Drizzle the dressing over the ingredients and mix until everything is evenly coated.
- Serve this delicious Thai Chicken Salad chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- To add more flavor to the dressing, try adding some minced garlic or shallots.
- If you want to make the salad even heartier, you can add some cooked quinoa or wild rice.
- Make sure to use reduced-sodium soy sauce to avoid the salad from becoming too salty.
- For an extra kick of flavor, try adding some sliced red onions or jalapeno peppers.
- If you don't have coconut milk on hand, you can also use Greek yogurt as a substitute.
- To make this dish even more flavorful, try adding some chopped cilantro and lemon juice before serving.
- Make sure to serve the salad chilled or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.
