Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 2 cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tbsp roasted peanuts, crushed
Dressing Ingredients
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, and chili flakes until the sugar is fully dissolved and the flavors are well combined.
- Combine Salad Ingredients. In a large bowl, add the shredded cooked chicken, thinly sliced cucumbers, red onion, and chopped fresh cilantro.
- Toss with Dressing. Pour the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients and toss everything thoroughly to ensure even coating of the dressing.
- Marinate. Allow the salad to sit for about 10 minutes, which helps the flavors to meld beautifully and the cucumbers to slightly absorb the dressing.
- Add Crunchy Topping and Serve. Just before serving, sprinkle the crushed roasted peanuts on top to add a delightful crunch and extra nutty flavor.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness and spice levels according to your personal preference by varying the sugar and chili flakes.
- For variation, substitute chicken with cooked shrimp or tofu for a seafood or vegetarian option.
