My Asian Salad

Chinese panties Chinese Panties (hahha, do you guys remember that?)
Any way, I've been wanting a good Asian salad recipe because I kinda have a thing for Asian salads...in case you didn't know.  So I've been working on this one for awhile. We really like it and hopefully you will too!












1 head of Napa Cabbage (regular works as well), sliced finely
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
1 red pepper, sliced very thinly
1 lg carrot, julienned
1 can mandarin oranges, or a 1/2 red grapes halved
1-2 stalks celery, cut on an angle
honey roasted peanuts
sesame seeds
fried rice noodles

2 chicken breasts, marinated in about 1/4 c of dressing and either pan fried or grilled (optional, I usually only add if it's the main dish)

Salad Dressing:

1/2 C Oil
1 1/2 Tbsp sesame oil
2 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp peanut butter
4 Tbsp soy sauce
4 Tbsp + 2 tsp sugar
2 tsp fresh ginger
2 tsp hoisin Sauce (optional, but really does add a depth to the flavor)

I totally remember chinese panties. My kids even know it. It was awesome. Yum. Asian salad. I have a Thai one that is sort of similar that we really like. I will have to give this a try. Thanks!
