Preparation

Step 1

Instructions

In a blender or using hand blender, blend cilantro, lime juice, sugar and vegetable oil until smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper and more sugar if needed.
In a large bowl, or on individual plates/bowls, layer the lettuce, cabbage, chicken, and vegetables.
Top with peanuts and serve with dressing.
Notes

You may also toss the romaine with half of the dressing before serving, and then layer vegetables/chicken on and serve with remaining dressing. My husband likes very light dressing so I tend to usually serve it on the side.
