  8. Thai Chicken Salad Wraps Recipe

Thai chicken salad wraps combine all my favorite spices and textures of Thai food in a scrumptious and healthy wrap. These are so perfect for making ahead and taking along on a summer picnic, a trip to the lake, or storing in the refrigerator for those days when you just can’t think of a single thing to eat for lunch. My kids love them too!

This recipe is not too spicy so it’s easy to make for the little ones for lunch. The simple dressing comes together in a snap and you can add just about any ingredients you like! Such a delicious alternative to boring sandwiches for lunch!

Thai Chicken Salad Wraps Ingredients

I love the cool cucumber and shredded carrots along with plump juicy golden raisins combined with shredded chicken in a deliciously simple spicy sauce. Together is a light and tasty meal that can be made ahead of time or the day of. It is the perfect combination!

  • Chicken breasts – Cook your chicken just the way you like it and cut it into cubes once cooled.
  • Cashews – Crunchy texture that will give this chicken salad more taste and flavor to the meal.
  • Cucumber – Peel and slice the cucumbers thinly and cut them into half or quarters.
  • Carrots – Slice or shred the carrots for a crunchy and fun color to add to the chicken and dressing mixture.
  • Raisins – Squishy and small with loads of flavor. Raisins are fun to add in for an extra texture.
  • Tortilla wraps – Pick out a spinach herb wrap, whole wheat, or a classic tortilla wrap to add to the chicken mixture.
  • Arugula – Lettuce leaves add just the right amount of crunch and lightness to the wrap. Arugula is a stronger lettuce that has a little bit of spice to it.

How to Make Thai Chicken Salad Wraps

First, make the dressing, then add in chicken and ingredients, and let set up in the refrigerator. When ready to enjoy, place the chicken mixture into a wrap and enjoy! It is that easy to make!

  1. Dressing – Mix together all the dressing ingredients in a large bowl.
  2. Fold – Then gently fold in the chicken, cucumber, carrots, cashews, and raisins.
  3. Refrigerate – Chill in the refrigerator for about an hour.
  4. Wrap up – Spoon the chicken salad into your wrap, top with lettuce, and roll up.

More Delicious Thia Ingredients

This recipe is completely versatile and you can toss in just about any ingredients you like. You can serve it all on its own, or wrap it up in a spinach wrap (I love the Mission Spinach and Herb variety). Here are some other ingredients you can add.

  • Add – Green onions, diced red bell pepper, fresh cilantro, garlic, and peanuts or nuts are a great substitute or addition.
  • Veggies – Diced red peppers, broccoli, and water chestnuts give a crunchy texture.
  • Herbs – Fresh cilantro, ginger, or basil are popular herbs to try.
  • Fruit – Mango, cubed apples, or pineapple are sweeter choices to try.
  • Protein – Substitute the chicken for shrimp or use ground chicken or ground turkey for a lighter and healthier main dish.
  • Heat – If you love spice then sprinkle red pepper flakes over top, chili sauce, or siracha sauce for some extra heat.
  • Lettuce – Any kind of lettuce is great! Iceberg lettuce is always the easiest and most popular, cabbage, is another great texture and taste as well as coleslaw mix that has a few extra ingredients.
  • Garnish – Squeeze lime juice over top for a tart and tangy combination!

Homemade Thai Dressing

Mix together all the ingredients in a small bowl making a light and creamy dressing mixed with the chicken mixture. Combined make a sweet and savory dressing that blends well with the chicken and wraps together easily. It is a thick and creamy dressing you will love!

  • Mayonnaise – The base of the dressing is used with mayonnaise. It is a creamy and smooth texture.
  • Sour cream – Adds in flavor but also gives that white cream thickness.
  • Sugar – Sweetness added to the dressing!
  • Salt – Balances out the flavors.
  • Curry powder – This is deep red coloring a sweet and savory seasoning that has a touch of heat.

Not So Spicy Sauce

If you are worried about the sauce being too spicy for the little mouths you feed, just alter the amount of curry powder. If you want it even spicier, you can toss in a dash or two of hot sauce or sriracha. I like it nice and spicy, so sometimes I add both! The cool sour cream and mayo in the sauce help make this dressing more “warm” than super spicy.
