COOK skewers on a heated oiled grill plate for 10 minutes, occasionally brushing with remaining satay sauce, until chicken is cooked.

PLACE cabbage, spring onion, celery, daikon, salad mix, sprouts, peanuts and coriander in a large bowl, then toss gently to combine.
CHILLI LIME DRESSING
PLACE ingredients in a screw-top jar and shake well to combine.
SERVE skewers with salad, dressing and lime cheeks.
