THAI PEANUT DRESSING FROM CPK'S THAI CRUNCH SALAD



Thai Peanut Dressing from Cpk's Thai Crunch Salad image

California Pizza Kitchen has a Thai Crunch salad that combines the Thai Peanut Dressing and a Lime Cilantro Dressing. I prefer to use only the recipe for the Thai Peanut Dressing, found in the CPK cookbook, to accompany my Chinese Chicken Salad (cabbage, romaine, steak or chicken, crushed peanuts, shredded carrots, pepper and cucumbers). It is absolutely DELICIOUS and very easy to make. I usually double the recipe and store any leftover dressing in the fridge.

THAI-STYLE CHICKEN SALAD WITH SPICY PEANUT DRESSING



Thai-Style Chicken Salad With Spicy Peanut Dressing image

This is a perfect salad for those hot days of summer! In the heat of the day, I try as much as possible not to get my big oven going, so I made up 8 chicken breast using my recipe #286497...shredding 5 cups and had the rest set aside for another use. I make drop biscuits and put this in my toaster oven to complete the dinner. For even less fuss, use a fully cooked supermarket rotisserie chicken. This recipe is best served over salad greens. Don't dress the chicken when it's warm...it will absorb too much of the dressing.
