Serves: 6 - 8

If you love Israel’s favourite peanut-packed snack, this salad is perfect for those warmer nights when you don’t want to spend hours in a hot kitchen. Cabbage and peanuts provide plenty of pleasing crunch and to really speed things up, you can make the dish with a leftover roast, instead of cooking a chicken from scratch,


Method

  • If cooking the chicken, warm 8 –10 tbs olive oil over medium high heat in a large frying pan or divided between two pans.

  • Once the oil is warm, season the chicken pieces and add them to the pan(s). Fry for 10 - 15 minutes — turning once or twice — until the chicken is fully cooked through and white on the inside. Cut through one of the thicker pieces to check if you want to be sure. Set aside on a plate to cool.

  • Slice the mini peppers into thinnish circles and remove any seeds. Shred the cabbage. Halve, peel and thinly slice the red onions.

Ingredients

6–8 tbsp olive oil
450g raw (or cooked) chicken breast, cut in chunks or strips
1 x iceberg lettuce halved and cut into thick strips
1 x small red cabbage quartered and cored
2 medium red onions
200g small sweet mini peppers (red and yellow) washed
Salt and pepper
300g jar peanut butter (smooth)
6 tbsp apple cider vinegar

150g salted peanuts
