Thai Chicken Salad

Quick No Cook Thai Chicken Salad with Rainbow Slaw and Sesame Satay Chicken

This Thai Chicken Salad is one of my staple quick and simple mid-week meals. Now that salad season is upon us, I couldn’t wait to make this one again. What I love most is that it doesn’t involve any cooking, is super delicious, wholesome, and it only takes 10 minutes at most to prepare.

And it’s great to use up left over roast chicken. You can also buy cooked chicken if you wish, like I did. Toss it in your favourite peanut satay sauce and sesame seeds to boost the flavour and crunch. Although this entire dish is a crunch fest with the slaw and nuts added.

You can obviously feel free to prepare the slaw and cook the chicken from scratch. The dish is definitely worth it. But if you’re looking for a super duper quick meal, just pop into your local woolies or other supermarket after work, combine the prepared ingredients et voilá.

Ideal for last minute guests arriving for dinner or a weekend lunch too. This salad is perfect as is, but if you’re serving a larger group, feel free to either increase the quantities or serve with cooked noodles. Either way your family and/or guests will swoon.
