Ingredients

    • 1 1-in (2.5 cm) piece peeled fresh gingerroot
    • 3/4 cup (175 mL) creamy poppy seed salad dressing
    • 2 garlic cloves, pressed
    • 1 medium cucumber, scored, seeded and thinly sliced
    • 1 pkg (6 oz) fresh baby spinach leaves (7 cups/1.75 L)
    • 1 pkg (12 oz/ 340 g) broccoli slaw mix (5 cups/1.25 L)
    • 1 small red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
    • 1 lb (500 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    • 1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
    • 1/4 cup (50 mL) snipped fresh basil leaves
    • 1/4 cup (50 mL) peanuts, chopped

Directions

  1. For dressing, finely chop gingerroot using Food Chopper. In Classic Batter Bowl, combine gingerroot, salad dressing and garlic pressed with Garlic Press; whisk until well blended and set aside.
  2. For salad, score cucumber lengthwise using Zester/Scorer; remove seeds using The Corer™. Thinly slice cucumber; cut slices in half. Place spinach, slaw mix, cucumber and bell pepper into Stainless (8-qt.) Mixing Bowl; refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. For chicken mixture, flatten chicken to 1/2-inch thickness using flat side of Meat Tenderizer; cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Heat oil in Stir-Fry Skillet over medium-high heat 1-3 minutes or until shimmering. Add chicken to skillet in a single layer. Cook without stirring 2 minutes or until chicken begins to brown. Stir-fry 2-3 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink; remove from heat. Add basil, peanuts and 1/4 cup of the dressing; toss to coat.
  4. To serve, toss salad with remaining dressing; top with chicken mixture and serve immediately on Simple Additions® Large Rectangular Platter with Handles.
