This vibrant and nutrient-dense salad is packed with fresh, organic ingredients and topped with a creamy, protein-packed peanut dressing. The dressing is so insanely good that it’s actually drinkable! It adds a rich, satisfying flavour that perfectly complements the crunchy veggies and juicy rotisserie chicken. I love making my dressings from home because it gives me full control over the ingredients. I can ensure every element is healthy, nutrient-dense, and free from any unwanted additives or preservatives, giving me peace of mind while eating clean. The rotisserie chicken is a great source of lean protein, essential for muscle repair and immune function. The shredded cabbage, carrots, and cilantro help support healthy digestion and promote gut health with plenty of fibre. The vibrant red bell pepper and cabbage are loaded with antioxidants, helping to fight inflammation and protect cells from damage. The coconut shreds and peanut butter provide healthy fats that support brain health and keep you feeling satisfied. The ginger and sesame oil in the dressing have anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce swelling and promote overall wellness. Whether served in a rice bowl, wrap, or lettuce cups, this salad is a delicious, wholesome, and satisfying meal that brings together the flavours in a healthy, balanced way. Perfect for meal prep or a nourishing lunch or dinner!
