Ingredients
Dressing
- 3-4 tablespoons warm water
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter unsweetened, or almond butter if avoiding peanuts
- 2 tablespoons defatted peanut powder or almond powder if avoiding peanuts
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce coconut aminos
- 1/2-1 tablespoon monk fruit powdered to taste, omit if using coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1/2 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1/2 tablespoon ginger grated
- pinch of cayenne omit for nightshade-free
Salad
- 2 cups coleslaw mix
- 2 cups baby spinach or other mixed greens
- 1/2 bell pepper cut into matchsticks, omit for nightshade-free
- 2 green onions sliced thin
- 1 pound chicken breast poached, cooled, and shredded (or use any other pre-cooked chicken)
- 2 tablespoons cilantro minced, optional
Instructions
- Whisk together all dressing ingredients until smooth in a large bowl. Add in the salad ingredients and toss to coat everything evenly. Divide between two plates and sprinkle with cilantro, if using.
Notes
The fastest and easiest way to prepare chicken breasts is to lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet and place the chicken on top. Bake in a 450ºF pre-heated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until a thermometer measures 165ºF at the chicken’s thickest point. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
