CREAMY ORIENTAL SALAD DRESSING SAM CHOY
This salad dressing comes from Sam Choy, one of my favorite Hawaiian chefs along with Alan Wong and Roy Yamaguchi. The dressing is good just as it is, but you can also use this dressing as a jumping off place for improvising such as addition of garlic, hot pepper, etc. Ono good!

CREAMY ORIENTAL CHICKEN SALAD DRESSING
This recipe is delicious and our absolute favorite dressing! My girlfriend shared this not-so-typical Chinese Chicken Salad dressing years ago. It has a creamier texture compared to the oil and vinegar style. For my family, salads are NOT their first choice. But with this dressing, they will eat their salads down to the last...

Steps:
- 1. Combine ingredients in blender. Mix well (don't over blend - it will get really thick because of the sesame seeds). Pour over salad (but, I usually keep it to the side so that everyone can put as much or as little on their salad as they want.) Refrigerate unused dressing.
- 2. Salad Suggestions: • Lettuce - I like to use romaine but you can use anything you want. To make it more 'oriental' you may want to add a bag of pre-packaged cabbage mix or bean sprouts. • Carrots - julienne - I use prepackaged sliced carrots to save time. Cut the carrots into julienne slices and soak it in iced water to help perk them up and add a bit more crunch to them. If you don't like carrots, consider red, orange and/or yellow bell peppers. • Cooked chicken/fish/turkey - I use a fork to flake store-bought (like Costco/Sam's Club/Safeway Rotisserie or Hawaiian Huli Huli Chicken. I also use leftover turkey after Thanksgiving. Or if you don't like poultry, we also love pan fried salt and peppered fish filets - cooled and cubed. • Char Siu (Chinese sweet pork) - sliced in strips (optional) • Crunchy Won ton chip strips • Cashews or Peanuts - Place the quantity that you want to use in a Ziplock bag, seal it and gently use a meat tenderizing hammer (or a regular hammer) to break it into smaller pieces. This saves time chopping. • Chinese parsley, Green onion - chopped - I usually put this to the side and let everyone add their own if they want it. You may also want to consider adding something sweet like: • Fresh fruit - Very thin slices of apple/pear, cubes of papaya/mango • Dried fruit - Raisins (1 tiny box per serving), cranberries and/or blueberries
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the dressing will taste. This is especially true for the herbs and spices.
- Adjust the flavors to your liking: The recipe is a starting point, so feel free to adjust the flavors to your own taste. If you like it spicier, add more chili sauce or Sriracha. If you want it sweeter, add more honey or sugar.
- Make ahead of time: The dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights.
- Use it on different salads: This dressing is not just for oriental salads. It can also be used on green salads, grilled chicken salads, or even seafood salads.
Conclusion:
This creamy oriental salad dressing is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a new salad dressing, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
