Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup poppy seed salad dressing, divided
¼ cup slightly crushed wasabi peas, divided
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds, divided
3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
3 romaine lettuce hearts, chopped
1 large pear, peeled and slivered
½ cup dried cranberries

Steps:

  • Whisk 1/4 cup poppy seed dressing, 2 tablespoons wasabi peas, and 1 teaspoon sesame seeds in a large glass or ceramic bowl; add chicken and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Place lettuce in a salad bowl; add pear, cranberries, remaining 2 tablespoons wasabi peas, and remaining 1 teaspoon sesame seeds.
  • Remove chicken from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
  • Cook chicken on the grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Cool chicken slightly and slice.
  • Pour remaining 1/4 cup poppy seed dressing over lettuce mixture; toss to coat. Top salad with sliced chicken.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. This is especially true for the wasabi, which can lose its flavor quickly.
  • Grate the wasabi yourself: Grating the wasabi yourself will give you a more intense flavor than using prepared wasabi. If you don't have a grater, you can use a microplane.
  • Use a light hand with the wasabi: Wasabi is a powerful condiment, so it's important to use it sparingly. A little goes a long way.
  • Taste the salad as you go: The amount of wasabi you need will depend on your personal taste. Add it a little at a time until you reach the desired flavor.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Wasabi salad is best served immediately after it's made. The longer it sits, the more the wasabi flavor will mellow.

Conclusion:

Wasabi salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a new salad to try, give this one a try.
