Spicy Thai Chicken Salad

January 11, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 13 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Today I have for you a light, refreshing salad with a little kick of heat and my favorite item, peanut butter.  Yup you guessed it, I made a Spicy Thai Chicken Salad.  This is one of my favorite salads.  Just about anytime I go to a new restaurant and I am not sure what to order because of calories, I stick to my safe menu option, which is the Asian Salad.  You really can’t go to wrong when ordering it, just get your dressing on the side and your pretty safe.
Spicy Thai Chicken Salad
I was so excited to make this salad, I had it in the back of my mind for weeks. Then one night my Husband said he was having frozen lasagna for dinner, since he bought a loaf of fresh Italian Bread. I didn’t argue one bit and said ok, have your lasagna and I knew what I was making. I LOVE fend for yourself nights!!  We haven’t had to many of them lately, which I guess is a good thing.  Trying to get my Husband on the healthy train.
Spicy Thai Chicken Salad
What inspired me to make this salad is that STAR Fine Foods sent me some infused olive oil. They come in 4 flavors, Grilling Garlic, Italian Basil, Mediterranean Chili Pepper and Asian Soy & Ginger. When I saw the Asian Soy & Ginger I knew immediately I was making this salad. I marinated my chicken in the Asian Soy & Ginger for about 30 minutes and then I popped my chicken on the grill. Oh man, did the chicken turn out so moist and delicious. It was just perfect! With one single ingredient this wonderful salad was made.
Spicy Thai Chicken Salad
The salad is made of simple ingredients such as; cabbage, sweet bell pepper, carrots, cucumber, mint and cilantro. The mint in the salad gave it a nice light, summery taste that complimented the vegetables. As for the dressing I made a nice Thai Peanut Sauce. It is creamy from the peanut butter, a little bit sweet from the sugar, tangy from the rice vinegar and soy sauce and a tad spicy from the chili oil. Right at the end I added more chili oil, but left it light for you in the recipe. You can add more if you want a spicier dressing. I think I am in love with this sauce! I could literally drink it! I know crazy, but it’s made with peanut butter and has the most wonderful subtle peanut taste!

Spicy Thai Chicken Salad
I have to tell you this recipe makes a lot of salad. My Husband saw my plate and said “are you really going to eat all that?” You bet I am! Since this recipe makes two salads, I ate one for dinner and took the other for lunch! Now I have a perfectly healthy lunch that will for sure fill me up and make me smile!

Since I have over bought on produce, you can bet you will be getting more healthy vegetable recipes!  I think I am off to a good start for January!!

Have a great day!

Toodles,


Jennifer

    Looks just yummy. I bet this recipe would also be great if you substitute Trader Joe’s Savory or Teriyaki baked tofu, or even mushrooms!

Hello hello! Happy Thursday! It’s been a busy w Hello hello! Happy Thursday!  It’s been a busy week, so the weekend can’t get here soon enough. Yesterday it hit 66, it felt like spring out. This weekend, I’ll be cleaning up the garden. I’ll take you on a tiny tour this weekend.
❤️
I love making vignettes. It helps give me ideas on how and where I want to display things in my home, so you may see some of these items placed somewhere else at a later date.
❤️
My friend Liz @little_bit_original gifted me the cute little coffee with heart block and the snowman with heart. Give me all the hearts!  Liz has the cutest little shop, be sure you check her out.
❤️
What would you rather have? Chocolate or Flowers?

Hi Everyone! Happy Wednesday! We are half way ther Hi Everyone! Happy Wednesday! We are half way there!  I’m counting down to the weekend. It’s supposed to hit near 70 degrees which is rare for this time of year.
💕
I’m sharing with you my little Valentines vignette that I put together. Since some of you said buying candy and displaying it was considered home decor, I used the Hostess Snow Balls that my husband bought.
💕
He said your using the Snow Balls I bought for Home Decor. I said yup! It’s pink and goes with my Valentines. Now I can’t eat them because I don’t want to lose my display. Lol
💕
I was so excited to get my happy mail from @thevintagehomestudio. The tea towel and candy bar was the perfect addition to my display. I love my tea towel so much. Give me all the hearts.
💕
I’m half way through my no buying home decor challenge. So far so good, but I will tell you now, I am going to buy some flowers when I hit up Trader Joe’s this week, I just have too. I heard they got a bunch of gorgeous tulips. I must have them. But I promise that I won’t go crazy.
💕
What are your plans for the weekend?

Hey, hey, hey happy Tuesday! The days are getting Hey, hey, hey happy Tuesday! The days are getting longer and Spring will be here before we know it. #sponsored I can’t wait! Spring is my favorite season!
🌸
I’m sharing with you my new Yuri 4 piece patio set that I got from RST Brands. I love the clean lines and it’s made with certified eucalyptus wood. Plus it is so comfortable to sit on.
🌸
The beautiful light blue cushions are covered in a durable olefin fabric that is weather resistant. Plus the cushions have zippers, so you can wash the cushion covers. That’s a big plus, considering Sampson loves to sit on furniture.
🌸
I can’t wait to decorate my Yuri 4 piece seating set with throws, pillows and of course plants. When the weather warms up, I’ll take you along with me when I decorate.
🌸
Are you looking forward to Spring?

Happy Monday! As usual the weekend flew by, but I’m happy that I got some things done. I’m really trying to do some purge and organize. Slowly moving at it, one day at a time.
💕
I’m sharing with you my Valentines Day tiered tray. If you notice, I finally got a new tiered tray.  Woohoo, the tiered tray is from @paperadpallet. I’m so happy to ditch my old white one. It was so crooked that I had to put a towel under to make it straight. I now finally have a straight tiered tray.
💕
I’ve been good and I still haven’t gone shopping, but after putting this tray together, I realize I don’t own any wooden hearts. I really would like some white and pink ones. I could do a diy, I don’t think that’s considered buying home decor?
💕
How was your weekend?

Hello Thursday! Hope your week is going well. So f Hello Thursday! Hope your week is going well. So far so good over here. I’ve been doing well not shopping. I had to have Target deliver groceries yesterday because I was afraid to go in that store. I have no control. 23 more days to go for my 30 day no buying home decor challenge.
🌿
I’m slowly working on refreshing my home after Christmas. I worked on this vignette in my living room. It’s really hard shopping my home. I grabbed stuff in just about every room to make this vignette.
🌿
I’m sticking with the whites and greens and added the blue vase to go with my pillow in the background. I added another faux fern, I didn’t realize how many I have floating around.
🌿
The pot the fern is in was a pot that my spider plant was in that I got from Trader Joe’s. I told you I really shopped around my home. But it’s kind of fun using things I already have.
🌿
Do you like shopping your own home?

Hello Wednesday! Half way through the first week b Hello Wednesday! Half way through the first week back, we can do it. I need to pump myself up. 😂 All in all it’s not to bad of a work week.
🌿
Last week I worked on changing my console table around. I wanted to keep it light and simple and of course add my greenery.
🌿
I just love adding pops of greenery, real or faux everywhere. Plants truly make me happy. The faux fern you see here is from Target. It’s part of the Studio McGee collection. I can’t get over how real it looks.
🌿
For ferns, I always have to get faux. I don’t have very good luck with real ones. It’s just to dry here. I have to water them everyday and if you miss a day, they die. So faux it will be.
🌿
What’s your favorite plant?

Hello and happy Tuesday! Not too much going on ove Hello and happy Tuesday! Not too much going on over here. Just trying to get back into the swing of things. I was so tired after work yesterday.
🌸
I’m slowly decorating my home for this season, though winter is hard for me. After Christmas, I love pastels and flowers. I think the winter season is a little more difficult to decorate because we don’t get snow. It’s hard to have flocked trees and sunshine.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my centerpiece on my dining room table. I just love it so much!  It’s kind of cozy and warm. Plus it has flowers! I’m still working on decorating the rest of the dining room. I hope to complete it by the weekend so I can share it with you.
🌸
How’s the weather where you live?

Monday again? Ugh! Back to work today. I have enjo Monday again? Ugh! Back to work today. I have enjoyed my two weeks off and boy it is going to be hard getting back in the swing of things. At least I can roll out of my bed and go straight to my computer.
💕
Notice something different in my bedroom? I have a new sign above my bed. It took two years and a lot of begging to get my husband to hang something above my bed. It did cost me a trip to Olive Garden. lol
💕
My new farmhouse sign is from @krumpetshomedecor. I love just it, and thought it was perfect for the bedroom. I find the words so beautiful. Swipe to see a close up.
💕
The sign is slightly white wash and the word “love” is raised lettering. Plus the sign is two sided. I’ll show you the other side in stories today.
💕
Today Krumpets Home Decor is launching there new Valentines decor and let me tell you it is gorgeous!! I saw some fun pieces for a tiered tray and more signs. So much to choose from.
💕

Happy Sunday! Not to much going on here. I finally Happy Sunday! Not to much going on here. I finally packed up my Christmas and slowly redecorating my house for winter/spring.
🌿
For some reason, when Christmas is over I feel the need to start to decorate for Spring. I just love the light, bright feeling.
🌿
My first post of the New Year has to be flowers. I’m sharing this pretty bouquet that I bought from Trader Joe’s.
🌿
Trader Joe’s has tulips already, which means peonies will be soon to follow. I can’t wait for flower season to come full bloom.
🌿
Are you going to be decorating for Valentine’s Day?
