Chinese Chicken Salad with Thai Peanut Dressing

by Jessica on September 7, 2008

While eating lunch one day a few weeks ago at a local cafe, my mom and I had a Warm Chinese Chicken Salad. After lunch, we headed to Sam’s and picked up a bag of these yummy Sesame Pita Chips. And, luckily, we’re really good at guessing the ingredients in a lot of dishes we eat. :) So… what follows is our version of said salad.

Chinese Lettuce (or Long Napa)
Shredded Cabbage
Shredded Carrots
Red or Green Grapes
Shredded Chicken (I used a Rotisserie Chicken from Sam’s)
Crispy Chow Mein Noodles (optional)
Sesame Pita Chips (optional)

Thai Peanut Dressing:
1/3 c chunky peanut butter
1/4 c white wine vinegar
3 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

Whisk dressing ingredients together until a moderately thin sauce develops. Assemble salad with veggies and chicken listed above, pour dressing on top, then garnish with Pita Chips and Chow Mein noodles if desired.
