Billy Dec: Today Show Chop Chop Chicken Salad Recipe Directions

1. Start by making the peanut dressing in a blender. Pulse the ingredients together.
2. The dressing won’t fully come together, so if you have extra you’ll have to remix it every time you want to use it.
3. For the salad, spoon some dressing into the bottom of a large mixing bowl.
4. Combine all salad mix ingredients. Toss with chicken until everything is evenly coated.
5. Garnish with chopped peanuts to serve.
