Asian Style Chicken Salad

Jan 28, 2015 · 25 Comments

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

This dish is a healthy and delicious take on chicken salad, filling you up, not out! Leftover chicken is tossed with fresh veggies then served over a bed of rice and salad greens.

Living the Gourmet: Asian Style Chicken Salad
If you find yourself wondering what to do with leftover chicken, I a fix for that. Here is something a bit different; though figure friendly and of course tasty.

In place of mayo, I opted for a light Asian-style dressing fresh with ginger root and all natural apricot preserves. This certainly was a tasty and satisfying meal and without any guilt or regrets.

On another note, my dear friend Louise is hosting her final week of Cookbook Wednesday.

I am sharing the NYT Cookbook by Craig Claiborne. I had this book when I was younger and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had been looking for it for a while, and leave it to daughter to find me this copy online. I was thrilled to have this book again. The first thing I made from it was the Apple Tart, which received rave reviews from the family.

I look forward to sharing it with you all soon. Tammy will be sharing her Cookbook in a post later this week.

There is still plenty of time to link up your favorite cookbook! The linkup will remain open for the next five days!

    Your chicken salad looks great. And I have that very cookbook, found at a used book sale some years back. (I also have a later edition of it, also found at a used book sale. One can never have too much Craig Claiborne, right?) I'll have to look up that apple tart recipe!

    What a delightful surprise Catherine! Not only are you enticing us with a gorgeous and refreshing Chicken Salad wrapped up in goodness, you also shared one of my very best favorite cookbooks. As Marjie duly noted, one can never have to much of Craig Claiborne! I love that you nestled this Asian Style Chicken Salad on a bed of Romaine. It looks lovely and oh so healthy. As you know, I've been shying away from mayo based dressings. I love all the ingredients in the dressing. I must remember to "whip" some up the next time we have leftover chicken. (which is often around here:) Thank you so much for sharing, Catherine and thank you for joining in on the Cookbook Wednesday fun! I can hardly wait to see what Tammy shares. From the sound of it, I may need to bring Cookbook Wednesday back in the near future. Many visitors are sad to see it go...
