Last night was salad night at the French-Glick household and I decided to change it up from the usual chop salad. The ingredients came to me during the walk home from the gym--and the combination turned out to be delicious.
Asian Chicken Salad French's Way
Dressing (use more or less of these ingredients as desired-I didn't really measure it out--just tasted as I went along)
Dash lite soy sauce
2 dashes rice wine vinegar
1 dash Trader Joe's Chili Mango vinegar (optional)
1 tsp finely chopped fresh ginger
4 dashes olive oil
1 tbsp smooth peanut butter
2 tbsp hot water
-Put PB in bottom of dish, add hot water, whisk to thin.
-Add soy, rice wine/mango vinegar to taste
-Whisk in olive oil
Salad
1 chicken breast, broiled (and marinated if desired) and cut into bite sized pieces
1/2 red cabbage, thinly chopped
1 head green leaf lettuce (or other greens), chopped
1/2 tomato, chopped and seeds removed
1/2 cucumber, skins removed and chopped
1/2 red onion, chopped
1 small can mandarin oranges
1 or 2 tbsps chopped nuts (I used almonds)

Handful of Chinese noodles (you know, those really crunchy naughty ones)
Toss all ingredients including chicken in large bowl, add dressing.
Enjoy!
