  • 2 tablespoons freshly-squeezed lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sunflower oil (OR another light vegetable oil)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil regular or toasted
  • ¼ teaspoon sriracha

Instructions

  1. Mince the garlic finely using a food processor or chop by hand and then whisk it with the other dressing ingredients including peanut butter, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, rice vinegar, sunflower oil, sesame oil, and sriracha until smooth.
  2. If the dressing is too thick, add warm water a teaspoon at a time and mix until you get the right consistency.
  3. Place the chopped Napa cabbage in a large bowl and arrange the cooked chicken, sliced peppers, and shredded carrots on top.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together until well mixed.

Notes

  • Heads of Napa cabbage can vary in size so weighing it is recommended to get about 16 ounces total
