Salad #41 – Thai Chicken Salad with a Spicy Peanut Dressing

March 15, 2014 by danawyyc 7 Comments

thai chicken salad

One of my favorite things in the world are those bags of pre-shredded cabbage. They keep well so you don’t have to use them right away, save time and effort and are really versatile. They are great in soups, stir frys, make an easy vegetable side dish or a perfect salad base. I had picked up a bag of cabbage (or coleslaw mix) and  a rotisserie chicken while we were at the grocery store and decided to make a meal salad with them. This salad keeps well in the fridge for a couple days too so you don’t have it eat it all at once – the cashews will get a bit mushy though so you may want to put them on at the last minute.

Salad #14 Chicken Edamame Salad with Miso Dressing

May 2, 2013 by danawyyc Leave a Comment

My plan for this salad was to make a side dish type salad that used edamame and miso paste in the dressing. I came up with this salad: Chicken Edamame Salad with Miso Dressing

But it was missing something. It was okay. But just okay. So I tried again and added some red pepper and swapped out the apple for golden raisins. (I also tried a different miso dressing but I thought it was kind of awful.) And it was better. But still not awesome. I had some left over chicken in the fridge from the Cafe Rio that I had made the day before, and some lettuce and thought that making it into a main dish instead of a side dish would be awesome. And it was.

  • 2 cups edamame
  • 2-3 carrots grated
  • handful of golden raisins
  • enough lettuce to made a salad bed (either ripped or shredded)

  • ¼ cup water
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup white wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • dash of siriacha
Instructions
  1. Mix dressing ingredients together well. The miso paste might be a bit thick so you may want to use a whisk or food processor instead of just shaking them together.
  2. Mix together the edamame, red pepper, carrots and golden raisin and toss with the dressing.
  3. Layer the lettuce, then the edamame mixture, then the chicken and top with the cashews. Add more dressing if needed.
