Here I am again singing your praises, Steph.  Like your Chinese Chicken Salad, I and my guests for dinner last Friday enjoyed this salad so much, that they made the peanut dressing for a routine salad and said it was scrumptious, too.  I sauté pre-cut chicken strips in a little grapeseed oil, allow to cool and toss together.  I also recommend your site since all of the recipes have been winners and you seek commentary from us cooks.  That is admirable and says a lot about your openness.

I will definitely keep making more recipes especially since my home grown tomatoes are ripening after a HOT Labor Day weekend!

Dear Steph,
I made a half portion for two to judge how much we liked this recipe today. I made the other half just now since it was just scrumptious!  I used a rotisserie chicken that was moist and very flavorful and cut it into chunks rather than shredding it.  Thank you for yet another wonderful 5 star recipe 
This colorful salad is visually pleasing and healthy with a rainbow mix of vegetables.

Question: do you use a store bought won-ton and crisp it yourself or do such items exist in stores? I may have to find an Asian store since our local grocery stores do not carry already crisped won-tons. I used Chow Mein noodles that my husband likes ( I do not care for them).

Thanks,
Christine Santee

Excellent. Only change I made was I added some Thai basil because I had it.

This is a great recipe.  I made some slight variations.  I used Dole's bagged slaw.  It already has carrots and purple cabbage. I only had crunchy peanut butter so I omitted the almonds (didn't have them anyway).  I made my own honey roasted peanuts with hot honey which added a nice kick. I slow cook chicken thighs because I had them.  

This would be very good without the chicken as well.

This recipe was DELICIOUS.  I made it for dinner tonight exactly as written and wouldn't change a thing.  Served it with suggested Chow Mein noodles and hubby and I both loved it.  Thank you for this keeper!

Made this tonight - use baked chicken from grocery store and bagged coleslaw mix .  It was delicious!!!  The dressing was so good!  

My husband and I loved this salad. Layered all the ingredients except almonds, peanuts and wontons and scooped out enough for two and added dressing to taste. I only did 2 cups of chicken since the coleslaw was used. Flavors are on point. Thanks for my new summer recipe.

This salad was really delicious. A lot of prep work for me: poached chicken in soy, garlic, ginger, and a bit of chicken bouillon and used the broth from this to add to dressing. Dressing: I doubled the lime juice and did use Sriracha, which made it just within my low spice tolerance level but up to my husband's. I used an emersion blender for dressing; these are so convenient.

Added a cup of chopped raw broccoli, otherwise ingredients as directed. The red pepper added nothing. Topped all with fine Asian crunchy noodles. Will definitely add to the rotation. Thank you!
