In A Hurry?
How does dinner in 15 minutes sound? I have a nice cache of fallback recipes … the ones that I can get on the table lickety-split after getting home late from work. With a quick trip through Express Lane at the grocery store, I can have a quick and healthy meal done in no time with my Chinese Chicken Salad. Better yet, my 3-1/2 year-old son, Nicholas, loves it as much as we do, so it’s even better that it’s kid-approved!
Sweetnicks’ Chinese Chicken Salad
Dressing:
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon tamari sauce
4 green onions, finely chopped
1-1/2 tablespoons ginger paste
2 teaspoons maple syrup
In a small bowl, mix all the dressing ingredients together, or combine in a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake vigorously. For the salad, combine shredded rotisserie chicken, mixed salad greens, shredded cabbage (use coleslaw mix in produce section), sliced cucumber, mandarin oranges and thinly sliced red onion. Pour dressing over the salad and thoroughly mix to ensure everything is evenly coated with dressing. Add salt to taste and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over top. Devour.
