Summer Thai Salad

Summer Thai Salad 1_small
We spend a chunk of our summer at the baseball field. It is hot and sticky and I spend most of my time trying to entertain my two-year-old, but we wouldn’t have it any other way because…

He’s pretty stinkin’ cute, right?

More often than not, practices and games are right around the dinner hour, so our whole family comes home hot and starving. This salad has saved us more than once. I can throw the whole thing together during naptime and stick it in the fridge. Then, it’s all ready for us when our sweaty bodies get home!

Score! This one’s a winner (even if our team is not!)

p.s. I make the salad and the dressing ahead of time and just combine right before serving. I had some steak leftover so I sliced it and added to the chicken. Yum!
