- 1 cup canned lite coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons Sriracha
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 teaspoons coconut sugar

Steps
Step 1
Mix together the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl. Season to taste with lime juice and ginger. Add tablespoons of water to the sauce if it is too thick. Place the sauce in an airtight container.
Step 2
Peel the skin off the Rotisserie chicken and add white meat to a cutting board. Chop up the meat into small pieces, about 1/2-inch.
Step 3
On another cutting board or sheet, add the ingredients for the salad. Using a large chef’s knife, chop up the entire salad together, continually folding the salad after each chop.
Step 4
To a large bowl, add the ingredients for the salad and the chopped chicken. Toss everything together.
Step 5
For meal prep, keep the salad separate from the sauce. For meal time, pour a few tablespoons over the salad in a large bowl and toss everything together.
Step 6
Garnish and enjoy!
