Whip up the creamy peanut dressing by combining the creamy peanut butter, rice vinegar, minced garlic, low-sodium soy sauce, lime juice, fresh ginger, Sriracha, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper in a large bowl. Whisk until smooth.
Prepare the vegetables by adding the thinly sliced green cabbage and romaine lettuce into a large mixing bowl. Follow with the grated carrots and slivered bell pepper and toss gently.
Combine the shredded cooked chicken into the vegetable mixture, folding gently to mix.
Dress the salad by drizzling the creamy peanut dressing over the mixture and toss lightly to coat everything.
Wrestle in the garnishes by sprinkling sliced scallions and crushed roasted peanuts on top; add cilantro if desired.
Serve the salad in generous portions along with lime wedges on the side.
