I make lots of variations on this. Sometimes I add tomatoes or sun-dried tomatoes,croutons, cucumber, red onions, pine nuts, olives-whatever is on hand and needs using. Prep time includes 30 minutes marinating.

Time 1h13m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 skinless chicken pieces (about 150g each)
1 tablespoon sambal oelek or 1 fresh chili, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon grated gresh ginger
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 -3 tablespoons cajun seasoning
2 tablespoons oil
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 8 cm lengths (250g)
100 g mixed salad greens
2 red capsicums, sliced (bell peppers)
50 g beans, shoots
100 g snow peas, topped and tailed
1/4 cup cashews, toasted
1/4 cup natural yoghurt
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon grated ginger
3 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander (cilantro)

Steps:

  • Combine chicken, sambal oelek, garlic, ginger and lemon juice in a bowl and marinate for 30 minutes-marinating longer will make the salad tastier and spicier.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and coat in the Cajun seasoning.
  • Heat the oil in a pan and fry the chicken for about 5 minutes, or until just cooked through.
  • Remove the chicken from the pan, set aside and keep warm.
  • Boil, or steam the asparagus until tender.
  • Combine all remaining salad ingredients including asparagus in a bowl, toss with the dressing and divide among 4 plates.
  • Slice chicken and divide amongst the 4 plates.
  • Serve with a dollop of yoghurt on each.
  • DRESSING: Combine all dressing ingredients in a screw-top jar.
  • Shake until well mixed.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this salad was not good. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out well.

This recipe is not worth your time. There are much better chicken salad recipes out there.

This salad was a disaster! The chicken was overcooked and the dressing was too spicy. I do not recommend this recipe.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the dressing was delicious. I would try this recipe again, but I would cook the chicken for less time.

I thought the dressing was a little bland. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

This salad was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, it was a great recipe and I would definitely make it again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the salad turned out great. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the dressing was creamy and tangy. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

I made this salad for a potluck and it was a huge success! Everyone loved it. The dressing is addictive, and the chicken is cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.

This warm and spicy chicken salad was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the dressing was perfectly balanced. I loved the addition of the roasted corn and black beans, which added a nice crunch and sweetness to the salad.
