    The flavors in this Chopped Low-Carb Thai Chicken Salad are going to knock your socks off!

    It's light, refreshing, bursting with tropical flavors, and is super simple.

    Unmix salad ingredients in bowl

    We got coleslaw, carrots, green onions, cilantro, sesame seeds (or almonds or peanuts), shredded chicken, and bell pepper covered in a to-die-for Low-Carb Thai Peanut Sauce!

    Most Thai salad recipes use thinly sliced cabbage and grated carrots - but that's way too much work!

    While you can use those if you want, I much prefer to just use a bag of coleslaw 😀

    And if you're not low-carb, feel free to add some chopped papaya, pineapple, or mango for a tropical burst of sweetness 🥭

    The chicken

    For the chicken, pulled rotisserie or leftover chicken works great!

    Or you can use my perfectly cooked shredded chicken recipe that can be made in the Instant Pot or oven.

    Thai peanut sauce

    dressing ingredients with labels

    For the sauce, here's our cast of characters:

    • Red Hot, Siracha, or Chili Paste
    • White Wine or Rice Vinegar
    • Coconut Aminos (or gluten-free soy sauce)
    • Ginger
    • Almond or Peanut Butter
    • Garlic
    • Sesame Oil
    • Keto Sweetener

    With a hefty amount of sesame oil, this dressing makes the most flavorful, best peanut sauce you could ever imagine!

    And you don't have to use it just for this salad recipe. It would also be great with zucchini noodles, lettuce wraps, or anything else you can imagine 😀

    💭 Frequently asked questions

    What's the best low-carb sweetener for this recipe?

    For the sweetener, you can use any low-carb sweetener you prefer!
    I like to use allulose or a monk fruit/allulose blend because it doesn't leave an aftertaste as erythritol-based sweeteners can sometimes leave - but any will work!

    Can I make this whole30 and paleo?

    Yes, you can! For whole30 and paleo, replace the keto sweetener with 1 to 2 pitted Medjool Dates. If the dates are hard, soak in hot water 15 to 30 minutes before blending. Also, use the unsweetened almond butter, white wine, and coconut amino options.

    Can I make this ahead of time?

    Yes! You can prepare the sauce and salad 3 to 4 days ahead of time, but I recommend keeping the sauce and salad separate until ready to serve. Otherwise, it will be soggy.

    How long can I store this?

    After assembled, the salad will stay good for several hours, then will it will start to become soggy. I recommend only putting sauce on the salad you anticipate eating so you can store any leftover sauce and salad separately in the fridge for several days.
