Ina Garten Chinese Chicken Salad Recipe
The Ina Garten Chinese Chicken Salad Recipe is fresh, bright and full of flavor. I love this salad because it feels light yet very filling. You get tender chicken, crunchy veggies and a tasty dressing in one bowl.
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked chicken shredded
- 3 cups shredded green cabbage
- 1 cup shredded red cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 red bell pepper thin slices
- 3 green onions sliced
- 1 cup sugar snap peas sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 cup crispy noodles or wonton strips
Instructions
Cook and shred the chicken
- Boil or bake chicken until tender and fully cooked. Let it cool and shred into thin pieces.
Prepare the vegetables
- Wash all vegetables very well. Slice cabbage, carrots, peas and peppers into thin strips for good crunch.
Make the dressing
- Add mayonnaise, soy sauce, vinegar, honey, sesame oil, ginger and garlic in a bowl. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Combine salad ingredients
- Put shredded chicken, cabbage, carrots, peppers, peas and green onions in a large mixing bowl together.
Add the dressing
- Pour the dressing over the salad mixture slowly. Toss everything gently until each piece is lightly coated.
Add crunch on top
- Sprinkle sesame seeds and crispy noodles or wonton strips. Mix a little or leave on top for crunch.
Chill before serving
- Place the bowl in the fridge for fifteen minutes. Flavors blend better and salad tastes fresher after chilling.
Notes
- Use fresh cabbage for the best crunch
- Do not overcook chicken or it gets dry
- Chill the salad before serving
- Taste dressing and adjust sweetness or salt
- Slice vegetables into equal thin pieces
