Chicken And Mango Soba Salad With Peanut Dressing Recipes

CHICKEN AND MANGO SALAD WITH SPICY PEANUT DRESSING

Steps:

• Combine dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until needed below. Heat the oil in a non-stick skillet set over medium, medium-high heat. Sprinkle and rub chicken with chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Sear and cook the chicken 4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Cool chicken, and then thinly slice. Divide and mound butter lettuce on each of 4 plates. Arrange some chicken, mango, cucumber, bell pepper and cilantro (or mint) on each salad. Drizzle each salad with some of the dressing and serve. Note: If time is short, instead of cooking your own chicken for this recipe, replace it, and its flavourings, with the hot, fully cooked BBQ chicken sold in our Deli Department. Slice and add as much of that chicken to your salads as you would like, and save the rest to use in sandwiches, pasta or other dishes the next day.

CHICKEN AND MANGO SOBA SALAD WITH PEANUT DRESSING

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. In a medium bowl, whisk peanut butter, hot water, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, lime juice and Sriracha until smooth. Season to taste with salt. Add sugar, if using, and stir. Set aside.
• Drop the snap peas into the boiling water and cook until they just turn bright green, about 30 seconds. Using a mesh strainer or a spider (leave the water in the pot), transfer to a colander and rinse under cold water until cool. Drain and slice each pea lengthwise into 2 or 3 pieces. Set aside.
• Return water to a boil and cook soba noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water until cool (if noodles get sticky, rinse again with cool water).
• In a large serving bowl, toss noodles with the chicken, mango and peanut dressing. Add two-thirds of the snap peas, cucumbers, cilantro and chiles, reserving the rest for garnish. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• When ready to serve, top with remaining snap peas, cucumbers, cilantro and chiles and serve immediately.
