I really like Panera’s spicy thai salad with chicken. I decided I would try to make something at home that was similar. It’s not intended to be a replica, but the flavors definitely satisfied the craving.
Roasting veggies just to cool them off seems kind of odd but I really think it is worth the extra effort. If you don’t have the time to roast the carrots and edamame, they’ll go great in the salad raw.
