Thai-Style Chicken Salad

Using peanut butter is a little indulgent if you're eating low fat, but most of the fat in peanut butter is unsaturated. I suggest using natural peanut butter, which contains very little saturated fat and no partially hydrogenated oils. You can also use a reduced fat natural peanut butter to cut total fat.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter, preferably natural
• 2 tbsp less sodium soy sauce or tamari
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• Juice of 1/2 lime
• 1/2 tsp minced ginger
• 2 cups rotisserie chicken, chopped
• 8 Romaine lettuce leaves
• 2 cups pre-shredded dry coleslaw mix
• 4 tbsp rice vinegar
• 2 plum tomatoes, halved and sliced

Preparation:

Combine peanut butter, soy/tamari sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice and ginger in a medium bowl. Stir in chopped chicken.

Place two romaine lettuce leaves on each of four plates. Drizzle rice vinegar over coleslaw and toss. Top each plate with 1/2 cup of coleslaw and vinegar mix. Surround romaine with sliced tomatoes, then top plates with one-fourth of the peanut chicken mixture.

Serves 4.
