Creating Thai Chicken Salad with Peanut Dressing is an enjoyable and rewarding process. Just follow these steps:

3. Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, shredded chicken, shredded carrots, bell peppers, cucumber, cilantro, and green onions.
4. Dress the Salad: Pour the peanut dressing over the salad and gently toss to evenly coat all ingredients.
5. Top with Peanuts: Sprinkle the chopped roasted peanuts on top for added crunch.
6. Season: Add salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
7. Serve: Transfer to individual bowls or plates. Garnish with lime wedges and additional peanuts if desired.
