By: Author Sheila. Asian Sesame Salad is loaded with color and crunch to create a beautiful and delicious — not to mention healthy — one-bowl meal. Fresh ginger and a few other simple ingredients are all you need to make a slightly sweet and tangy sesame ginger vinaigrette. Use the vinaigrette to toss the salad as well as to marinate the chicken breasts which top the salad. Either grill or bake the chicken then add to the salad along with a few almonds, sesame seeds, and Chinese noodles for even more crunch!
It can make any bowl of fresh greens devilishly moreish! Made with cabbage, carrots, green onions and chicken, finished with sesame seeds, this is terrific for packed lunches as it keeps well for days! This is my most made faux Asian salad. I love the fresh hit of ginger and garlic in the dressing but I quite often make this salad using my standby simple Asian Sesame Dressing. Made with just soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, oil and sugar, it keeps for days, weeks even. I think the thing that really seals the deal for me about this Chinese Chicken Salad are the crunchy noodles. PS This is a terrific do-ahead meal.
A perfect salad for leftover BBQ, boiled, broiled or baked chicken. A very crunchy salad with a tasty sweet Asian-style dressing. The kids love it too!
I made it two days in a row it was so good. I will definitely make this again and again. Good luck.
