This is such a unique salad with an incredible mix of flavors. If you are not already a salad-lover, then you will be soon after trying this recipe.
1 bag mixed salad greens (Fresh n Easy's Spicy Salad Mix is great for this)
1 large carrot, julienne cut
2 grilled chicken breasts, sliced (boiled is fine)
thin tortilla strips (they come in a package now)
Lime Dressing:
1/2 cup lime juice (use fresh, approx 3-4 limes)
7 tablespoons honey
4 teaspoons honey mustard
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
Peanut Sauce:
4 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons hot water
4 tablespoons peanut butter (I used super chunk style)
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon ground ginger
In a small bowl, combine the lime dressing ingredients and mix well. In a large bowl, combine the salad greens, carrots, sliced chicken* and tortilla strips. Pour the lime dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Transfer the salad to 4 salad plates. In another bowl, combine the ingredients for the peanut sauce and mix well. Drizzle each salad with the peanut sauce and serve. (I like leaving the chicken on the top to absorb more of the peanut sauce)
Serves 4 (2 salads one night and 2 the next; the cold dressings are even better the next night)
