Fresh, crunchy and so good! I made this up when my favorite Chinese dressing mix was discontinued. My husband loves this! We usually eat it just between the two of us while the kids eat a cheese pizza. But the kids usually end up eating some too.

DIRECTIONS

Prepare dressing by adding all ingredients to shaker, shake well and let sit a minimum to 1 hour.
Boil chicken until no longer pink, about 10-15 minute let cool then cut into bite size pieces.
While cooking chicken, chop lettuce, shred carrot, peel and slice cucumber, chop cilantro, slice onions, and crush peanuts.
Put everything in a salad bowl and toss very well with dressing (you may not use it all).
This is good with soft rolls or sesame crackers.
