ASPARAGUS AND CHICKEN SALAD WITH GINGER DRESSING



Asparagus and Chicken Salad With Ginger Dressing image

Asparagus takes easily to many kinds of seasonings, so after you've tired of having it plain with butter or homemade mayonnaise, try this spicy dressing laced with ginger and chiles. Adding smoked chicken is a nice way to make a more substantial first course or light lunch. You can purchase smoked chicken at better butcher shops or online, but equally good is grilled chicken at room temperature, or cold poached chicken. I sometimes substitute lightly smoked ham or smoked slab bacon, simmered until tender.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, salads and dressings, main course, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 large shallot, finely diced, about 2 tablespoons
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Salt to taste
Generous pinch of cayenne
1 tablespoon grated ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 pound asparagus
Salt and pepper
1 serrano chile, thinly sliced (optional)
1/2 cup roasted peanuts, crushed
3/4 pound smoked chicken, sliced
1 large lime, halved
Basil, mint and cilantro leaves, about 1/2 cup total

Steps:

  • To make the vinaigrette, put shallots in a small bowl. Add vinegar, sugar, mustard, salt and cayenne and let steep for 5 minutes. Add ginger and garlic, then whisk in sesame oil and vegetable oil. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Snap off the tough end of each asparagus spear, then cut each spear into 2-inch lengths. Cut thicker pieces in half lengthwise as necessary so all cut pieces are approximately the same size. Place asparagus pieces into boiling water and cook for 1 minute. Drain and cool under running water. Blot dry.
  • To make the salad, put asparagus in a salad bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add chile, if using, and crushed peanuts. Dress with half the vinaigrette and toss to coat.
  • Arrange dressed asparagus on a platter or on individual plates. Tear chicken slices into strips and scatter over asparagus. Drizzle a little more vinaigrette over the salad and give it a good squeeze of lime. Garnish with basil, mint and cilantro leaves and serve immediately.
