American Chinese Chicken Salad (without the chicken)

Recipe adapted from Eric Kim of the New York Times!

Ingredients for the dressing

  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons peach or apricot preserves or fig jam 
  • 2 tablespoons vegan mayo
  • 1 tablespoon of tamari 
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 Serranos, minced 
  • Salt

Assembling the salad

  • 2 hearts of Romaine 
  • 3 scallions, chopped
  • Cilantro 
  • Peanuts 
  • Avocado 

Directions  

  1. Clean and chop the Romaine lettuce and set aside.
  2. To make the dressing, add all the ingredients to a large bowl and whisk to combine. Stir in the scallions and then add the Romaine lettuce. I usually find it needs another pitch of salt. Toss really well. 
  3. Top with peanuts, avocado, and cilantro! You can also add tofu or any other protein you like.
