Salad

Fried chicken and red cabbage salad with peanut dressing

Chicken and red cabbage salad with peanut dressing
If, like me, vinaigrette is your least favorite salad dressing, you will love the thick creaminess of the peanut dressing in this salad. It’s a version of the peanut sauce that often accompanies satay.
Cook time: 5 minutes minutes
Servings: 1 person

When raw greens are combined with fruits and nuts, a salad becomes edible. Lovable even. Yep, just like this lychee and mango salad with honey-mustard dressing.
