Thai Cucumber Salad with Chicken

Print Recipe

This fresh and quick salad combines crunchy cucumbers, shredded chicken, and a creamy peanut dressing, making it a perfect light lunch or side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 cups shredded chicken
  • 2 English cucumbers
  • 3 green onions (sliced green and white parts)
  • Toppings: chili crisp, toasted sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup crunchy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1–2 tablespoons water or coconut milk (if needed)
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Slice the cucumbers thin and remove extra water by wrapping them in paper towels. Let them sit a few minutes.
  2. Whisk the peanut sauce ingredients in a large bowl until smooth.
  3. Add cucumbers, shredded chicken, and sliced green onions to the bowl.
  4. Toss everything so the sauce coats the cucumbers and chicken well.
  5. Garnish with extra green onion, toasted sesame seeds, and drizzles of chili crisp.

Notes

Pat cucumbers dry to keep the salad from getting soggy. Use rotisserie or leftover chicken to save time. Thin the peanut sauce with water or coconut milk if it is too thick. Adjust lime, honey, or soy to match your preference.
