1 red bell pepper seeded and diced
1 cup shredded carrots
12 ounces shredded cooked chicken breast such as rotisserie
½ cup scallions minced
½ cup cilantro minced
½ cup roasted peanuts minced

Creamy Peanut Dressing

3 tablespoons creamy natural peanut butter
2 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium

1 tablespoons Nakano Natural Rice Vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Add all of the salad ingredients to a large bowl (cabbage through roasted peanuts); set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together dressing (peanut butter through garlic) until smooth. Add a bit of warm water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to thin if you prefer a thinner consistency. Note: you may need to add additional salt to taste.
Drizzle dressing over the salad and toss well. Check for seasoning before serving and adjust accordingly.

Notes

I love prepping this salad ahead each week. I keep the dressing on the side and toss right before serving. It's perfect with leftover shredded rotisserie chicken.
