Directions
- Sometimes, all you want for dinner is a salad. Not a plain garden salad with dressing and a couple of croutons tossed in, but something a little more substantial.
- This easy recipe is an Asian-style salad which has a beautiful array of colors, plenty of crunch to make things interesting and is great for a warm summer day.
- Instead of having typical dinner rolls as a starch, try scallion pancakes, that you can find in the freezer section of your local Asian market.
- The cold, tropical flavor of coconut pineapple ice cream is the perfect way to round out this hot-weather meal.
- TIPS: As a shortcut, use leftover rotisserie or possibly other cooked chicken.
- Purchase cut-up vegetables at the salad bar to save cutting time.
- Serves 4
- Heat a large pot of salted water to a simmer. Poach chicken breast in simmering water till internal temperature reaches 165 degrees, about 20 min. Set aside to cold.

- Portion the salad onto plates; sprinkle with peanuts and green onions.
