As long as we have meat and lots of vegetables or other chunks in our salad, Nate and I are usually both okay actually having salad for dinner. This Thai chicken salad is full of lots of extra things, chicken of course, red peppers, carrots, cucumber, and topped with wonton strips, and peanuts if you want them too. It all comes together with lettuce of course and a delicious sweet peanut dressing.
All the flavors combine together to make a delicious salad full of lots of flavor. And lots of crunch, as you bite into the sweet red peppers, wontons and more. This is my kind of salad.
Really, this is a salad that even salad haters would love.

Yum! This looks so good! I love how simple the recipe is. Usually Thai recipes seem so complicated.
