    Thai-Style Chicken Salad

    By Fiona Haynes - Low Fat Cooking Expert

    Serves: 4
    Total time: 10 min.

    Using peanut butter is a little indulgent if you're eating low fat, but most of the fat in peanut butter is unsaturated. I suggest using natural peanut butter, which contains very little saturated fat and no partially hydrogenated oils. You can also use a reduced fat natural peanut butter to cut total fat.

    Ingredients:
    1/4 cup creamy peanut butter, preferably natural
    2 tbsp less sodium soy sauce or tamari
    1 tbsp rice vinegar
    Juice of 1/2 lime
    1/2 tsp minced ginger
    2 cups rotisserie chicken, chopped
    8 Romaine lettuce leaves
    2 cups pre-shredded dry coleslaw mix
    4 tbsp rice vinegar
    2 plum tomatoes, halved and sliced

    Preparation:
    Combine peanut butter, soy/tamari sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice and ginger in a medium bowl. Stir in chopped chicken.
    Place two romaine lettuce leaves on each of four plates. Drizzle rice vinegar over coleslaw and toss. Top each plate with 1/2 cup of coleslaw and vinegar mix. Surround romaine with sliced tomatoes, then top plates with one-fourth of the peanut chicken mixture.
