Ingredients

¼ cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, from one lime
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce (use gluten-free if needed)
2 tablespoons honey
2½ tablespoons sugar
2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1-inch square piece fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
4 cups chopped Napa cabbage or shredded coleslaw mix (I like to toss in a little shredded red cabbage for color)
1 cup prepared shredded carrots
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced into bite-sized pieces
1 small English cucumber, halved lengthwise, seeded and thinly sliced
1 cup cooked and shelled edamame
2 medium scallions, thinly sliced
½ cup loosely packed chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

For the dressing, combine all of the ingredients except for the cilantro in a blender and process until completely smooth. Add the cilantro and blend for a few seconds until the cilantro is finely chopped. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
For the salad, combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and toss to combine. If serving right away, drizzle the peanut dressing over top and toss; otherwise, serve the dressing on the side so the salad doesn't get soggy.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

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.
