Notes

Tips and Variations for Making a Thai Chicken Salad :

Don’t like cilantro? Substitute green onions.

If you want to make this Thai Chicken Salad a little heartier, try adding in rice noodles.

The chicken can easily be cooked ahead in the slow cooker! Try cooking it on low for four hours, adding in a little broth or water for extra moisture.

Make it Vegan by substituting cooked and crumbled Tempeh or using Gardein Chicken Scallopini.

If a Thai Chicken Salad with Peanut Sauce is more your thing, make the recipe as instructed and substitute in this Peanut Sauce.

Skip the fish sauce in the dressing and instead use soy sauce. (Or gluten free tamari. Make sure it is organic!)
