Knock Your Socks Off Thai Chicken Salad

Mix the first six ingredients (don’t add in the oil – you’ll add it later) in a bowl, reserving half to use as dressing. Marinate chicken in the bowl with the remaining marinade mixture, at least 4 hours.

When ready to make salad, throw the chicken on the grill and grill till perfectly done (over medium heat, typically this will take 5 minutes per side, but it depends on the size of your chicken breasts). Then remove chicken from the grill and let it rest a few minutes before slicing!

Into your reserved marinade, add half cup of extra virgin olive oil and mix. (I like to use a small mason jar, pour liquids in, screw on the top, and shake it up, baby.)

Now, you are ready to create your salad. Mix your chopped greens, carrots, slaw, cucumbers, peppers, oranges and Craisins in a BIG bowl. Add your dressing and toss well. Place into bowls/plates/whatever kind of individual serving dishes your heart desires, and top with sliced chicken and crunchy noodles!

This salad is perfect for the hot summer days! You could even use leftover grilled chicken – this is your salad, make it the way YOU want!
