Direction
- In a large bowl, mix together all of the meatball ingredients until well combined.
- Fill a shallow bowl with water; dip your hands in, shake off excess water and with wet hands, roll 1 tablespoon of meatball mixture into a ball. Repeat with remaining mixture to make 16-20 meatballs.
- Heat a small amount of oil in a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches without crowding the pan, and brown on all sides until golden and cooked through. Set aside.
- Combine salad ingredients together in a large bowl. In a separate jug, whisk together all of the dressing ingredients and mix throughout the salad leaves.
- Serve with the chicken meatballs and garnish with the crushed peanuts.
