I have lived in Michigan now for 13 years and not one Chinese Restaurant has Chinese Chicken Salad like they do back home in San Fran, Cali.... :(. So, this is as close as I can come to the real thing... I am not sure where I found this recipe. Ingredients:
2 teaspoons peanut oil |
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil |
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter |
1/4 cup rice vinegar |
1 lime, juice of |
1 1/4 tablespoons soy sauce |
1 tablespoon honey |
1 garlic clove |
1 tablespoon chunk fresh ginger or 1 teaspoon ground ginger |
1 teaspoon chili powder |
4 small grilled skinless chicken breasts or 4 small baked boneless skinless chicken breasts |
8 cups mixed lettuce greens |
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro |
Directions:
1. To make dressing: In a blender or food processor, puree the oils, peanut butter, vinegar, lime juice, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and chili powder.
2. To make the salad: Cut up chicken into small bite size pieces. Mix the ingredients. Just before serving, toss the salad with the dressing.
3. I use Mongolian Fire Oil and Hot Chili Sesame Oil over the top with chopped peanuts. Yummmmmmyyyyy!
