Preparation
  1. Prepare the Lime-Cilantro Dressing and Thai Peanut Dressing in separate bowls. Whisk together ingredients for each dressing until combined, then refrigerate.
  2. If making Fried Wonton Strips, heat vegetable oil in a medium pan and fry wonton wrappers until golden. Drain on paper towels.
  3. If using protein, preheat grill/oven to 375°F. Season chicken and cook until juices run clear. Allow to rest and chop.
  4. In a large bowl, combine Napa cabbage, red cabbage, julienned carrots, scallions, cucumber, cilantro, edamame, and peanuts. Toss gently.
  5. Drizzle Lime-Cilantro Dressing over the salad and add grilled chicken. Toss gently to coat.
  6. Fold in Fried Wonton Strips gently to maintain their crunch.
  7. Serve salad on chilled plates and top with Crisp Rice Sticks and extra Thai Peanut Dressing.
  8. Garnish with diced Hass avocados before serving.
