Ingredients
12 ounces Linguine
1⁄4 cup Peanut Butter
3 tablespoons Soy Sauce
2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar
1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
1 tablespoon Ginger (grated)
1 tablespoon Honey
1 tablespoon Sriracha
1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
1⁄2 whole Lime (zested and juiced)
1⁄2 cup Cilantro (chopped)
2 whole Green Onions (sliced)
1⁄2 whole Cabbage (thinly sliced)
1⁄2 whole Red Pepper (thinly sliced)
1 whole Chicken Breast (cooked and shredded)

Directions
  1. Cook the pasta until al dente. Drain, reserving some of the starchy pasta water, rinse and set aside.
  2. For the peanut dressing: Place the peanut butter in a large measuring cup and microwave to soften, 15 seconds. Whisk in with the soy sauce, vinegar, vegetable oil, ginger, honey, Sriracha, sesame oil and lime zest and juice in a small bowl. Thin with the starchy pasta water if needed, 1 tablespoon at a time. Dressing should be thick, but pourable.
  3. For the salad: Place the pasta in a large mixing bowl and add the cilantro, vegetables, and chicken and toss with the dressing.
