Chinese Chicken Salad

Instead of using the "kitchen sink" approach, this crunchy, colorful Chinese Chicken Salad has a carefully-curated selection of vegetables and toppings. The dressing is delicious and doubles as a marinade and dipping sauce, too.

Ingredients :
  • 1/3 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 4 cups cooked chicken shredded or diced
  • 1 pound napa cabbage cored and finely shredded
  • 2 cups shredded red cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 bunch scallions thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
  • 1 cup chow mein noodles
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds for garnish, optional
Directions :
  1. To make the dressing, in a small bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil. Allow flavors to blend at room temperature while preparing the rest of the salad.
  2. In a large bowl, add chicken, green and red cabbage, carrots, scallions, and cilantro. Drizzle with salad dressing and toss to combine. Sprinkle with chow mein noodles and sesame seeds.
