Asian Chicken Salad

 Hello friends,

This yummy salad recipe is perfect for a light summer night meal, a side dish at a bbq or family gathering & can easily be a delicious addition to any meal all throughout the year. It has always been a huge hit when I've brought it to a potluck and I almost always leave with an empty dish ;)  My family loves when I make this and it is usually devoured, although on the rare occasion we have leftovers they don't last long. I'm sure your family will love this as much as mine & it will soon become one of their favorites :)


Asian Chicken salad recipe:  

* 1  3oz package of ramen noodles

* 1  14oz package coleslaw blend

* 1 1/2 cups cooked, shredded chicken

* 1/2 cup unsalted peanuts

* 1/2 cup of craisins (I like using regular or cherry)

* 1/2 teaspoon of basil (optional)

* 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper (optional)

* Chopped green onions (optional)

Add all ingredients to a large bowl (break ramen noodles into loose pieces) and mix well. 


Dressing:

* 1/2 Cup Sugar

* 3/4 Cup Soy Sauce

* 2 Tablespoons Sesame Seeds

* 1/4 teaspoon all spice

* 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar

* 1/2 cup olive oil or vegetable oil

* 3 Tablespoons sesame seed oil

Mix all ingredients for dressing (except oils) in a glass jar & shake vigorously for 2 minutes. Add in oils and shake another 3 minutes. Drizzle dressing over salad and mix well. 

Cover and refrigerate at least an hour before serving. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight dish for up to 3 days. 

Enjoy!

Comprehensive Homeschool Resource List:

  Hello friends,  When I first began homeschooling I remember feeling so overwhelmed with all the choices, the stress and pressure of not knowing where to start and not wanting to make the wrong decisions or miss anything important. It was so much to try and sort through and I didn't know which direction was up. Thankfully I had several friends who had been homeschooling for several years share some of their wisdom with me, gave me tips and pointers and helped answer my questions. That was so invaluable to me as a newbie to homeschooling and I will always be so appreciative of their advice, encouragement and their time. It is my hope that this blog will be like a good friend to turn to when you are feeling stressed and overwhelmed and need somewhere to turn to find some advice and encouragement.
