CHINESE NO CHICKEN SALAD WITH MANDARINS AND CILANTRO


Growing up Chinese Chicken Salad was a staple in our house.  It's such a refreshing zesty salad, what's not to love.  My sister over at Natsukashii, posted a fabulous salad recipe back in 2010 and we have been making this for our families and dinner parties ever since.  I real crowd pleaser.  Her version includes chicken and dried crunchy noodles.  I love adding in the noodles from time to time, but if you want to keep it raw, leave the noodles out (and obviously the chicken :)  ).  This recipe is so simple, you won't know what to do with yourself.

CHINESE NO CHICKEN SALAD WITH MANDARINS AND CILANTRO


1 head of shredded cabbage
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
6-8 stalks of green onions, chopped,
1 large cucumber, sliced thin and small
1-1/2 cups manadrins
1/2 cup rice vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Sesame seeds

Mix all of the ingredients together in a large bowl and season with the rice vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper when ready to serve.  Easy as 1-2-3.

Enjoy!

ASIAN SLAW WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Asian Slaw with Peanut Sauce

TGIF everyone!  This one is short and easy.  I promised to post the salad I made with the Peanut Sauce I made the other day. Asian Slaw's are really easy to make.  I packed this one full of various raw veggies and so it had a tremendous amount of flavor in one bite.  An easy way to give variety to your salads is to vary the cutting methods used.  In this case I tried to Julienne, shred and thinly slice a lot of the ingredients.

ASIAN SLAW WITH PEANUT SAUCE

 
2 cups Shredded Cabbage
1/2 cup Jicama, Julienned (Or Diakon Radish)
1/2 cup Cucumber, Sliced or Julienned
1/2 cup Cilantro, chopped (I love cilantro, so I proably added about a cup!)
1/2 cup Leeks, Sliced or Julienned
1/2 cup Red Radishes
1/2 cup Green Onions, chopped
Avocado to garnish

DRESSING:

Peanut Sauce or your favorite vinaigrette or asian salad dressing.

You can also top it with your favorite nuts.  Mine would be these Sweet & Spicy Cashews, which I can't believe I forgot to use!

Enjoy and have a fabulous weekend!
