Ingredients

For the Peanut Dressing:

For the Salad:

  • 1 Cup cucumbers diced
  • 1 Cup carrots shredded
  • ½ Cup red bell pepper diced
  • 1 red onion small onion, diced
  • 1 Cup red cabbage shredded
  • 1 Pound chicken breast cooked and diced or shredded
  • 4 mandarin oranges or cuties, separated into segments
  • 4 Cups mixed greens
  • ¼ Cup green onions chopped
  • ¼ Cup chow mein noodles crispy

Instructions

  • Add the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, garlic powder, ginger, sesame seed oil, and 3 tablespoons of warm water to a small mixing bowl.
  • Whisk until smooth and pourable, adding more water if needed to reach the desired consistency.
  • Line up 4 mason jars. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of dressing to each jar.
  • Evenly divide the cucumbers, carrots, red bell peppers, red onions, cabbage, chicken, and oranges between the jars.
  • Top each with a cup of mixed greens, a tablespoon of green onions, and a tablespoon of chow mein noodles.
  • Cover the jars with their lids and refrigerate.
  • When you’re ready to serve, remove the lid and pour the salad into a bowl.

Notes

Adjust the dressing consistency: Adjust the thickness of the dressing by adding warm water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dressing is pourable.
Store them upright: Keep the jars upright in the fridge to maintain the layering.
Wide mouth mason jars: Using wide mouth jars is recommended, so you can add the ingredients easily.
Shake before serving: Shake the jar a little before pouring your Asian chicken salad into a bowl, as this will help distribute the dressing evenly.
