Coleslaw with pulled chicken and peanut dressing
6 servings
40 minutes
Coleslaw with shredded chicken and peanut dressing is a vibrant mix of crunchy vegetables and tender chicken fillet enriched with a rich nutty flavor of the dressing. This salad has roots in European cuisine but gains a special character from exotic notes of lime, sriracha sauce, and sesame oil. The taste of the dish is a balance of the freshness of cabbage and the spiciness of the sauce, with a soft texture of chicken. The peanut-based dressing makes it rich and slightly creamy, while cilantro adds freshness. This salad is versatile: it can be a light standalone dish or an addition to the main dinner. A great choice for those who appreciate harmony of flavors and textures.
