Thai Chicken Quinoa Salad! This salad comes together in no time and is so perfectly balanced. It’s full of protein from the quinoa, chicken, and the peanuts.

Instructions
Marinate chicken in garlic powder, onion powder, ground ginger, lime juice and soy sauce for at least one hour. Then bake or grill chicken until internal temperature reads 165 degrees F. I grilled mine and they turned out great! Set aside to let cool. Then cut into bite-sized pieces.
Combine salad ingredients except for 1/4 cup of cilantro and the green onions (reserve these for garnish).
In a microwave safe bowl, mix together peanut butter and honey. Microwave for 15 seconds if you need help loosening the mixture. Then add remaining ingredients.
Into a large bowl, combine the salad, the chicken, and the sauce. Mix well to combine. Finish by garnishing with cilantro and green onions. Enjoy cold!
