I got this recipe from ourbestbites and it is delicious!
Dressing: (make this ahead and refrigerate)
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 lime, juiced and zested
2 1/2 tsp. sesame oil
1 Tblsp. seasoned rice wine vinegar
2 Tblsp soy sauce
3 Tblsp. honey
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 Tblsp. minced ginger
1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro (stems and all)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
2 tsp. sriracha chili sauce
2-4 Tblsp. water (to desired consistency)
Place everything in a blender and mix until smooth. Makes about 2 cups. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Salad:
8 oz. Linguine
4 cups shredded greens: napa cabbage, romaine lettuce, spinach, etc.
2 cups thinly sliced purple cabbage
1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 medium carrot, julienned
1/2 medium cucumber, halved and sliced
1/2 of a red onion, thinly sliced
3 cups diced or shredded grilled chicken (I used rotisserie chicken)
about 1/2 cup honey roasted peanuts
cilantro, if desired
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add salt and pasta. While the pasta is cooking, start chopping veggies.
The great thing about this salad, is you can use whatever veggies you like. I usually use romaine lettuce, and purple cabbage, and any of the remaining ingredients that I have in the fridge.
When the pasta is cooked, drain it and rinse in cold water until it has cooled off. Place noodles on the plate and cover with veggies and chicken. Pour dressing over all and top with peanuts and cilantro, if desired.
