To create the perfect Crunchy Cold Peanut Chicken Salad, the way you mix your ingredients is crucial. Begin by placing the chicken, bell pepper, cucumber, carrots, and red cabbage in a large mixing bowl. It’s essential to gently toss the ingredients together to maintain the integrity of the vegetables. This means using a light hand and a folding motion rather than aggressive stirring, which can bruise the veggies and make them less appealing. The goal is to combine the ingredients so that they are evenly distributed without losing their crispness.

Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (can be rotisserie chicken)

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup cucumber, julienned

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped

4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas

1/2 cup chopped peanuts for garnish

Lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dressing: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the creamy peanut butter, soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, and sesame oil until smooth and well combined. If the dressing is too thick, you can add a little warm water to reach your desired consistency.

    Mix the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced red bell pepper, shredded carrots, julienned cucumber, red onion, and chopped cilantro. Gently toss to combine the ingredients.

      Add the Dressing: Pour the peanut dressing over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Toss everything together until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.

        Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken salad mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Be careful not to overfill.

          Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom to the top to enclose the filling tightly. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and salad mixture.

            Serve: Cut each wrap in half and arrange them on a platter. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts for an added crunch. Serve with lime wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
