Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 slices bacon
1 (1 1/2-inch) piece ginger, peeled, cut into very thin matchsticks
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon tahini
1 tablespoon white miso
2 teaspoons fish sauce
3/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Pinch of sugar
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
1 large egg yolk
3/4 cup vegetable oil, divided
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 small rotisserie chicken, skin removed, meat shredded (about 4 cups)
1 head of green leaf lettuce, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick ribbons
2 scallions, thinly sliced
Toasted sesame seeds (for serving)

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in a dry medium skillet over medium heat, turning slices occasionally, until brown and crisp, 5-8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels; let cool.
  • Cook ginger in a small saucepan of boiling water 1 minute. Drain ginger and rinse under cold water; set aside.
  • Whisk soy sauce, tahini, miso, fish sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and 2 Tbsp. lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Whisk egg yolk and remaining 2 Tbsp. lemon juice in a medium bowl to combine. Very gradually stream in 1/2 cup vegetable oil (almost drop by drop), whisking constantly until mayonnaise is emulsified and thick. Still whisking constantly, gradually add soy sauce mixture, then remaining 1/4 cup oil. Thin dressing with a tablespoon or two of water if needed; you want it to be the consistency of heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Toss chicken and 1/2 cup dressing in a large bowl to coat. Add lettuce and another 1/2 cup dressing and toss again; season with salt and pepper. Crumble bacon over.
  • Transfer salad to a serving bowl or platter and drizzle another tablespoon or so of dressing over salad (you may have some left over). Top with scallions, sesame seeds, and reserved ginger.
  • Do Ahead
  • Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

This salad is a great make-ahead meal. You can make the dressing and shredded chicken ahead of time, and then just assemble the salad when you're ready to eat.

I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise, so I was hesitant to try this recipe. But I'm so glad I did! The creamy miso dressing is amazing and doesn't have that heavy mayonnaise taste.
