Recipe by Sherbg This is an easy salad for hot summer nights, and actually it's great year-round. You can substitute cooked roast beef slices or shrimp for the chicken.

Ingredients

  • Dressing
  • 1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Asian garlic-chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger root
  • 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium chicken broth
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • Salad
  • 1 (16 ounce) package uncooked linguine pasta
  • 3 1/2 cups cooked chicken, cut into strips
  • 1 cup julienne-sliced carrot
  • 6 green onions, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips
  • 1 celery rib, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped roasted peanuts, for garnish

Instructions

  1. To make the dressing, place the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili-garlic sauce, brown sugar, ginger, red pepper flakes, and 3 tablespoons of chicken broth together in a blender or bowl of a food processor. Blend until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Thin the dressing to your taste by adding more chicken broth or water.
  2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and place pasta into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add the chicken, carrots, green onions, red pepper, celery, and cilantro to the bowl with the linguine. Pour the dressing over the noodle-chicken mixture and toss until mixture is evenly coated. Divide the salad among eight serving plates, and sprinkle peanuts over each serving.
