I make lots of variations on this. Sometimes I add tomatoes or sun-dried tomatoes,croutons, cucumber, red onions, pine nuts, olives-whatever is on hand and needs using. Prep time includes 30 minutes marinating.

Time 1h13m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 skinless chicken pieces (about 150g each)
1 tablespoon sambal oelek or 1 fresh chili, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon grated gresh ginger
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 -3 tablespoons cajun seasoning
2 tablespoons oil
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 8 cm lengths (250g)
100 g mixed salad greens
2 red capsicums, sliced (bell peppers)
50 g beans, shoots
100 g snow peas, topped and tailed
1/4 cup cashews, toasted
1/4 cup natural yoghurt
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon grated ginger
3 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander (cilantro)

Steps:

  • Combine chicken, sambal oelek, garlic, ginger and lemon juice in a bowl and marinate for 30 minutes-marinating longer will make the salad tastier and spicier.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and coat in the Cajun seasoning.
  • Heat the oil in a pan and fry the chicken for about 5 minutes, or until just cooked through.
  • Remove the chicken from the pan, set aside and keep warm.
  • Boil, or steam the asparagus until tender.
  • Combine all remaining salad ingredients including asparagus in a bowl, toss with the dressing and divide among 4 plates.
  • Slice chicken and divide amongst the 4 plates.
  • Serve with a dollop of yoghurt on each.
  • DRESSING: Combine all dressing ingredients in a screw-top jar.
  • Shake until well mixed.

I'm not a big fan of chicken salad, but this recipe changed my mind. It's so flavorful and delicious.

This salad is a bit spicy for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.

I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the dressing is tangy and flavorful.
