Ingredients

DRESSING AND MARINADE
6 Tbsp seasoned rice vinegar
1/4 c canola oil
2 Tbsp sesame oil
2 clove garlic, minced
2 Tbsp fresh ginger, grated
5 Tbsp soy sauce, dark
2 tsp hot chili sauce
2 boneless, skinless, chicken breast - trimmed of any fat
SALAD
2 green onions - diced finely
1 handfull of cilanto - chopped
1/2 red bell pepper - julienned
1/2 orange bell pepper - julienned
1 c carrots - shredded
1 c snow peas - cut in half
1 c mandarin oranges - drained
1/2 c cashews, unsalted - toasted
3/4 lb spaghetti noodles - cooked per instructions

Steps:

1. Marinade: Combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly. Pour 3-4 tablespoons of marinade in a large zip lock bag, add chicken and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Set the remainder of dressing/marinade in a sealed container in the refrigerator so flavors can combine.
2. Salad: Cook the spaghetti per instructions, rinse with cold water and drain. Add half of the dressing to the noodles and let it sit for 20-30 minutes (this allows the noodles to become very flavorful).
3. Prepare all the vegetables, set aside.
4. Grill chicken until cooked thoroughly (about 3-4 minutes on each side), let the meat rest for 5 minutes before slicing into chunks.
5. Add the vegetables, cashews, mandarin oranges, chicken and remainder of dressing to the noodles. Stir until well combined and serve. Enjoy.

ASIAN NOODLE SALAD WITH CASHEWS

This salad is so amazingly good. I'm totally addicted to it. It looks (and tastes) like something you'd eat in a restaurant. I know, you're thinking spinach with noodles???? But it is SO good. And don't let the long ingredient list scare you. Trust me it's worth the chopping. If I'm making this just for our family, I cut up all my veggies and put them in ziplock baggies. Then I make the dressing and the noodles. I keep all of it in the fridge and just pull it out as much as I want and enjoy the salad 2x in one week! I found it on Pioneer Woman's website (adapted from Jamie Oliver's version) and adapted it to my taste. As a side salad it probably serves more like 8 - 10. But if this is all you're eating then it will serve 4 - 6. It looks like you've got this huge salad and how is it all going to be eaten and then all of a sudden it's gone and people are asking for more!!

Ingredients

375 g linguine, cooked, rinsed, and cooled (I've used whole wheat and it's good too.)
1/2-1 head napa cabbage, sliced
1/2-1 head purple cabbage, sliced
150 g Baby Spinach (about 1/2 a bag)
1 red bell pepper, sliced thin
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced thin
1 orange bell pepper, sliced thin
2 cups bean sprouts (or one small bag)
3 green onions, sliced
1/4 cup cilantro, you can do as much as you like though
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup cashew nuts, roasted
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons sesame oil
6 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar (I've left out the sugar altogether and it's just as yummy, in my opinion)
3 tablespoons fresh ginger, chopped (I've also used the powder, but fresh does taste better)
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 lime, juice of

Steps:

Mix together salad ingredients. I don't usually measure, I just keep add as much as I want of each ingredient until it looks like the picture.
Put dressing ingredients in a jar. Shake well and pour over salad. You can also add jalapenos to the dressing if you like it spicy.
Mix with tongs or hands and serve in a large pasta bowl. I always use my hands to mix this. It's so much easier.
As a side salad it probably serves more like 8 - 10. But if this is all you're eating then it will serve 4 - 6.
