Try this Thai chicken Salad for a one-dish summer dinner. The secret to this dish is the dressing. It\u2019s made by adding Thai peanut sauce to your favorite vinaigrette or oil and vinegar dressing. The rich peanut sauce adds authentic spices and blends all the delicate ingredients together. Chicken, shredded Chinese cabbage and summer fruit create a refreshing combination of flavors and textures. Look for a bottled sauce that fits your requirements.<\/p>\n

I tasted a similar salad on a trip to Thailand and when I asked the chef to go easy on the very hot chili peppers that go into most Thai food, he said the delicate blend of flavors of the fruit and herbs are the important elements. The heat can vary. So add as much heat as you like to this mild version.<\/p>\n
