Ingredients
2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie works great!)
1 cup cucumber slices
1 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Directions
Make the dressing: Whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, sesame oil, honey, and sriracha until smooth. Add a splash of water if needed for a thinner consistency.

Toss with dressing: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Garnish: Top with roasted peanuts, red chili peppers, and extra cilantro if desired.
