This salad is one of my favorite ways to use up leftover chicken. It has the perfect mix of textures and bright flavors that make it a total hit during the warmer months.

The secret is adding the crunchy ramen noodles right before you serve the dish. It keeps everything fresh and provides a satisfying snap in every bite.

Ingredients

  • 2 packs of ramen noodles, seasoning packets discarded
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 head of cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 2 carrots, shredded
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons warm water

Instructions

  1. 1

    Crush the dry ramen noodles into bite sized pieces using your hands or a rolling pin.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cabbage, carrots, cilantro, and green onions.

  3. 3

    Whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, red curry paste, lime juice, honey, and warm water in a small jar until smooth.

  4. 4

    Pour the dressing over the chicken and vegetable mixture and toss well to coat.

  5. 5

    Add the crushed ramen noodles to the salad right before serving to keep them crunchy.

  6. 6

    Toss once more and serve immediately.

💡 Tips

Store the dressing separately from the salad if you plan on eating this over a few days. If you like a little extra heat, feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing.
