Follow The Directions
01
Step
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced celery, sliced green onions, and chopped peanuts. (5 minutes)
02
Step
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce, ground ginger, sugar, and red pepper flakes. Add 2 tablespoons of water to thin the dressing slightly. Stir in the minced cilantro and mint. (5 minutes)
03
Step
Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and toss gently to coat evenly, ensuring every piece is infused with the vibrant Thai flavors. (2 minutes)
04
Step
Arrange Boston lettuce leaves on a serving platter or individual plates. Spoon the chicken salad onto the lettuce and garnish with additional chopped peanuts, sliced cucumbers, and grated carrots. Serve immediately. (3 minutes)
For an extra layer of flavor, try toasting the peanuts lightly before chopping.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preference for heat.
If you don't have fresh mint, a few drops of mint extract can be used as a substitute, but fresh is always best.
This salad is best served fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The lettuce, cucumbers, and carrots should be added just before serving to maintain their crispness.
Consider adding other vegetables like bell peppers or bean sprouts for extra crunch and nutrition.
