Chinese Chicken Salad
A simple yet very flavorful dressing can elevate a salad from unremarkable to “I’m definitely posting this on Facebook,” and that’s the case with the Pineapple Wasabi Drizzle for our Chinese Chicken Salad. With only four ingredients, this sweet yet powerfully pungent dressing adds an exhilarating flavor layer to cool and crunchy chopped romaine, shredded chicken, snow peas, roasted peanuts, baby corn and a handful of fresh herbs and aromatics. If you like, add some crunchy noodles to the top and serve with hot or chilled oolong tea and hop quickly on a culinary slow boat to China.
