Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini, spiralized into noodles (about 8 cups)
- 2 cups shredded chicken breast
- 2 cups shredded carrots
- 2 cups shredded purple cabbage
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- ½ cup minced fresh cilantro, plus more for serving
- ½ cup crushed peanuts
Dressing
- 1 batch Thai peanut dressing (see recipe or store-bought)
Instructions
- Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large serving bowl, add the spiralized zucchini noodles, shredded chicken breast, shredded carrots, shredded purple cabbage, bean sprouts, and minced fresh cilantro. Mix gently to distribute the ingredients evenly without bruising the delicate zucchini noodles.
- Add Dressing and Toss: When ready to serve, drizzle the Thai peanut dressing over the salad. Toss thoroughly but carefully to coat all components with the dressing, ensuring every bite is flavorful.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish by sprinkling crushed peanuts and additional fresh cilantro on top for texture and extra freshness. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For best texture, do not dress the salad too far in advance as zucchini noodles can become soggy.
- To keep the salad light and fresh, use freshly shredded vegetables.
- You can substitute shredded chicken with tofu to make the salad vegetarian.
- If you prefer a spicier dressing, add a little more chili or sriracha to the peanut dressing.
- Store leftover salad without dressing refrigerated for up to 1 day.
