The crunch of the veggies, the creaminess of the peanut dressing, and the smoothness of the chicken all combine together to make a lovely salad that is exactly what you need on a hot summer evening.
Plus, the rainbow of colors makes it one gorgeous plate!
Its super yummy! I love thai food because there are always so many wonderful flavors just crammed together.
And this salad is no exception – its definitely got flavor coming full force at you.
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.

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.
