Pan-Asian Chopped Chicken Salad

"Mmmm! This recipe for my Pan-Asian Chopped Chicken Salad keeps everyone coming back for more until they can see the bottom of the bowl. This recipe is influenced by my love of both Chinese and Thai flavors, which are beautifully complex. So, I set out to accomplish them with an easy and flavorful side dish. The mix of seasoned rotisserie chicken and fresh summer vegetables are awakened by the addition of fresh cilantro and green onions. For more ease, use shredded carrots, and for more elegance shave them with a vegetable peeler. Because there are incredible ginger dressings in the store, I jazz up my favorite by adding in creamy peanut butter, but crunchy would work great too. Its extremely easy to make the salad and dressing ahead of time. I like to toss everything in the dressing when it is time to serve, and this is perfect for any potluck of any size- just double the ingredients as needed. This recipe is also a great way to vamp up the grilled chicken or rotisserie chicken from the night before for the family. Everyone will love the vibrancy of the vegetables, the salads textures and freshness, and the comforting flavors of the dressing that ties everything together. It will quickly become one of the most frequently requested side dishes you make!"
