Ingredients

Scale

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tbs honey
  • 2 tbs chopped pickled ginger
  • 1 tbs chili oil
  • 1 tbs sesame paste (or tahini)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3/4 cup roasted peanut oil

Salad

  • 2 lbs chicken breasts, cooked and sliced thin
  • 5 cups Napa cabbage, julienned
  • 4 cups mixed greens
  • 1 head radicchio, julienned
  • 2 carrots, julienned
  • 1 mango, julienned
  • 2 cups wonton strips
  • 1/3 cup toasted cashews, chopped
  • 2 tbs toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Make the Dressing: In a blender, combine rice wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, low sodium soy sauce, egg yolk, honey, chopped pickled ginger, chili oil, sesame paste, salt, and pepper until smooth. Gradually drizzle in the roasted peanut oil while the blender is running to emulsify the dressing. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  2. Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the sliced cooked chicken breasts, Napa cabbage, mixed greens, julienned radicchio, carrots, and mango. Toss gently to mix the ingredients evenly.
  3. Add Dressing: Pour half of the prepared dressing over the salad. Toss thoroughly to coat all ingredients. Taste the salad and add more dressing gradually if desired.
  4. Plate: When serving, arrange the salad on plates by forming a dome or cone-shaped ‘mountain’ to create a visually appealing presentation.

Notes

  • Ensure chicken breasts are cooked and sliced thinly for best texture and flavor integration.
  • Julienning vegetables and mango ensures a consistent texture and easier mixing.
  • Use low sodium soy sauce to control saltiness.
  • Toast cashews and sesame seeds ahead for enhanced flavor.
  • This salad is best served fresh to retain crispness.
