Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt
1 cup frozen shelled edamame
2 oranges
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon Sriracha
Freshly ground pepper
1/2 large head iceberg lettuce, chopped
2 cups watercress, trimmed
1 cup crunchy chow mein noodles
2 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (about 12 ounces)
1 cup shredded carrots (about 2 carrots)

Steps:

  • Bring a small saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the edamame and cook until tender and bright green, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water; set aside.
  • Cut the top and bottom off each orange, then cut off the peel and white pith. Holding an orange over a small bowl to catch the juice, cut along the membranes to remove the orange segments, letting them fall into the bowl. Squeeze any juice from the membranes into the bowl. Repeat with the other orange.
  • Whisk the peanut butter, 1/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons of the orange juice, the soy sauce, vinegar, Sriracha and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Toss the lettuce, watercress and half of the chow mein noodles in a large bowl. Divide among plates and drizzle with half the dressing. Top with the chicken, edamame, carrots, orange segments and remaining noodles. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with the remaining dressing.

  • Make the dressing ahead of time. The dressing for this salad is simple to make, but it's even better if you let it sit for a few hours or overnight before using. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Use fresh vegetables. The vegetables in this salad should be fresh and crisp. Use a variety of colors and textures for a more visually appealing salad.
  • Don't overdress the salad. When you're dressing the salad, use just enough dressing to coat the ingredients. You don't want the salad to be soggy or oily.
  • Serve the salad immediately. This salad is best served immediately after it's made. The flavors will start to fade if you let it sit for too long.
