  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 2 cups coleslaw mix
  • 2 cups broccoli slaw
  • 1 cup matchstick carrots
  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 2 cucumbers, seeded and chopped

Dressing & Toppings

  • 1 cup Thai peanut sauce
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1/2 cup chopped peanuts

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, toss together the coleslaw mix, broccoli slaw, matchstick carrots, green onions, red bell pepper, cilantro, shredded rotisserie chicken, and chopped cucumbers until evenly mixed.
  2. Add dressing: Pour the Thai peanut sauce over the salad mixture, followed by the freshly squeezed lime juice. Toss thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well coated with the dressing.
  3. Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or individual plates, sprinkle with the chopped peanuts on top for added crunch, and serve immediately for the best fresh taste and texture.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a dash of red pepper flakes or Sriracha to the dressing.
  • This salad can be prepared a few hours in advance; however, add the peanuts just before serving to maintain their crunch.
  • Use rotisserie chicken for convenience, or substitute with grilled chicken breast if preferred.
  • Feel free to substitute the Thai peanut sauce with a homemade peanut dressing for tailored flavors.
  • Store leftover salad separately from peanuts and dressing to prevent sogginess.
