For the dressing: (I usually double this because sometimes I use more lettuce, cabbage or other ingredients)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar (not the seasoned kind or it will be too salty. Can substitute regular white vinegar but the dressing will have more of a harsh flavor)
- 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
- 1 Tablespoon peanut butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Sriracha hot sauce
- 1 Tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 large garlic clove, minced (or 1/4 teaspoon garlic
- powder)
For the salad or slaw:
- 4 cups prepared broccoli slaw or coleslaw or shredded cabbage or romaine lettuce (use about 6 cups) or use a combination
- 1 cup prepared julienned carrots (or grated in food processor)
- 1 red pepper, thinly sliced into bite size pieces
- 1 cup pre-cooked, shelled edamame (available fresh or frozen)
- 2 to 4 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup chopped toasted almonds (toast for 1 or 2 minutes in the microwave)
- 1/2 cup Craisins
- 8 to 10 wonton wrappers cut in strips and fried in a bit of vegetable oil
- 1 to 2 cups cooked and cooled chicken breasts cut into bite-size pieces
- PREPARE the dressing by combining all ingredients in a medium bowl or blender. Whisk or blend until peanut butter is dissolved. Set aside.
- IF DESIRED combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl (or serve them separately like a salad bar). Add dressing and toss well. If using slaw, let sit at least 10 minutes so vegetables have a chance to soak up the dressing. For romaine lettuce-serve immediately.
- ENJOY!
*This salad tastes yummy but does not keep well.
