Asian Salad With Wasabi Mustard Dressing Recipes

ASIAN SALAD WITH WASABI DRESSING

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk the wasabi sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic and ginger. In a large bowl or deep platter, layer the lettuce, cabbage, scallions, cilantro, straw mushrooms and bean sprouts. Drizzle on dressing, use as much as desired. Nutrition note: I try and keep my dressings light, so I actually only used half the amount listed, but I know it wouldn't be enough for many people and it is still just a little over 100 calories for the salad.

CHICKEN AND CELERY SALAD WITH WASABI-TAHINI DRESSING

Steps:

• In a medium pot, cover chicken breasts with about 2 inches of water, and season with 2 tablespoons kosher salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer on low until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and let cool.
• While the chicken cools, make the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together lime juice, tahini, wasabi paste, garlic, sugar and 1/4 cup water until smooth. Season to taste with salt.
• Cut celery into 2-inch segments, then cut segments lengthwise into matchsticks and place in a large bowl.
• Using two forks or hands, shred the chicken into bite-size pieces and transfer to the bowl with the celery.
• Pour dressing over the chicken and celery and toss to coat. Top with celery leaves and sesame seeds, and serve with lime wedges.

WASABI-SOY VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• In a small liquid measuring cup or a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine 1/4 cup water, the garlic, sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil and wasabi paste. Whisk to combine, or, if using a jar, seal tightly and shake vigorously until emulsified. Taste and add more wasabi if you like; the wasabi flavor will intensify as the vinaigrette sits.
• Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week. This tastes great with any green salad, of course, but also with raw, crunchy vegetables, like cucumbers, sugar snap peas and thinly sliced asparagus.
