This Thai Kale Chicken Salad is great for families – it satisfies your desire for texture and flavor while filling you up, but it isn’t so crazy that the kids won’t enjoy it as well. If you want it spicier you can add some sriracha or red pepper flakes on top.

This salad is also a great way to use up leftover peanut sauce from Thai chicken satay skewers!

  1. Your salad is a tempting mix of colorful vegetables and a flavor-packed dressing, a tempting meal for any season. Maybe a lime wedge on the side for a final flavor pop… not that it needs anything more. Yum.

  2. Sounds delicious! I love kale salad. And peanut dressing? I could put that on styrofoam and be happy!
