Asian Chicken Salad with Spicy Peanut Dressing

I love me an Asian chicken salad. I've made several throughout the years and have a few favorites. 

This recipe was easy and delicious. The "Spicy" dressing wasn't spicy at all. I'm not sure if it was because I used jarred garlic or not. I feel like fresh garlic is sometimes TOO spicy. At any rate, I added a dash of sriacha.
