This salad has a wonderful Asian flavor with the soy sauce and the ginger. It's a great side dish to any light summer meal or potluck.

Provided by Gayle Kennedy

Categories     Chicken Salads

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 c lite mayonnaise
2 Tbsp soy sauce, low sodium
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1/4 tsp hot pepper sauce (opt.)
3 c rotini pasta
2 c chopped cooked chicken
1 c chinese pea pods
1 c red pepper, chopped
1/4 c green onion, sliced

Steps:

  • 1. I use boneless/skinless chicken breast and poach it in chicken broth to cook. This can be done ahead and cooled in refrigerator. Cut chicken into cubes. Cook pasta according to directions, drain and cool. slightly steam pea pods just til crisp tender, drain and rinse in cold water to stop cooking.
  • 2. In a large bowl, mix mayonnaise, soy sauce and seasonings. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving. Remove from refrigerator 15 min. before serving to take the chill off. Note: I actually make the dressing a day ahead in a small bowl as well as cook the chicken. When I assemble the salad I save some of the dressing in case I need to add a touch more just prior to serving. Sometimes the pasta will soak up some of the dressing while it sits in the refrigerator.

CHINESE PASTA SALAD



CHINESE PASTA SALAD image

Categories     Salad     Chicken     Pasta

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 clove garlic
1 piece fresh ginger root size of a quarter
1Tbls. Sesame oil
1/3 c. Soy sauce
1 tsp. sugar
1Tbls. Fresh lemon juice
1tsp. Grated lemon peel
1-2 tsp. dry mustard
2 shakes Tabasco
3 Tbls. Rice vinegar
1/2 c. Salad oil
3 whole boneless chicken breasts
1 lb. cooked fettucine
4 scallions sliced thin with tops
3 stalks celery sliced thinly on diagonal
1/4 c. Cilantro chopped
1/4 c. Parsley chopped
1/4 c. Toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Dressing: in blender mince garlic and ginger. Add next 8 ingredients and blend. Add oil slowly so it incorporates well. Store in covered jar and refrigerate. Salad: poach chicken, cool, shred. Marinate chicken in enough dressing to coat well (save the rest for the noodles) for 3-4 hours, but not overnight. Cook pasta, drain, add enough reserved dressing to prevent noodles from sticking together. Assemble: toss cooled pasta with scallions, celery cilantro, parsley and all but 2 Tbls. of sesame seeds. Add chicken with dressing, toss. Sprinkle with reserved sesame seeds.

Tips:

  • Choose the right noodles: Use a short, sturdy noodle like penne or fusilli for best results. These noodles will hold up well in the salad and won't get too soggy.
  • Cook the noodles al dente: Don't overcook the noodles, or they will become mushy. Cook them according to the package directions, but test them a few minutes before the recommended time to make sure they are still slightly firm.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really makes this salad sing, so don't skimp on the ingredients. Use a good quality olive oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil. You can also add other flavors, such as garlic, ginger, or chili peppers.
  • Add plenty of vegetables: Vegetables add color, crunch, and nutrients to the salad. Use a variety of vegetables, such as cucumber, carrots, bell peppers, and snow peas. You can also add some leafy greens, such as spinach or arugula.
  • Don't forget the protein: This salad is a great way to get your protein fix. Add some grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu to the salad. You can also use a plant-based protein, such as beans or lentils.
  • Serve immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The noodles will start to soften over time, so if you are making it ahead of time, be sure to chill it well before serving.

Conclusion:

Chinese pasta salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this Chinese pasta salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
