Lunds & Byerlys Chicken Pad Thai Salad
What it is
This is a prepared salad featuring cooked chicken and noodles, inspired by the flavors of Thai Pad Thai. It typically includes a savory and slightly sweet sauce, often with elements like peanuts, lime, and cilantro. The ingredients are pre-portioned and combined for a convenient meal option. It is designed to be eaten chilled, offering a quick and flavorful lunch or light dinner.
How people cook with it
This salad is perfect for a fast meal when you don't have time to cook. It can be enjoyed straight from the container.
- Quick lunch
- Light dinner
- Picnic food
- Takeaway alternative
Simply open the container and serve. It is ready to eat as is. For a slightly different texture, you could add a few extra fresh cilantro leaves or a squeeze of lime juice just before serving. Some people might enjoy a sprinkle of crushed peanuts for added crunch. It is best enjoyed chilled, so keep it refrigerated until you are ready to eat it. This makes it an ideal grab-and-go option.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike a traditional hot Pad Thai dish, this salad is served cold. The noodle texture may be slightly different due to the chilling process. The flavor profile is designed to be refreshing and suitable for a salad format, rather than the intense wok-fried characteristics of the hot version.

Busy individuals looking for a convenient and flavorful meal solution.
How to keep the rest
Keep refrigerated. Once opened, consume within a few days. Ensure the container is sealed tightly to maintain freshness. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
