Asian Cobb Salad

This colorful and healthy salad will steal the spotlight from overplayed restaurant salads.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) lite Asian vinaigrette salad dressing
  • 3 tbsp (45 mL) Asian Seasoning Mix, divided
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) reduced-fat peanut butter
  • 1 bag (6 oz/175 g) fresh baby spinach leaves (about 4 cups/1 L)
  • 2   ripe mangoes
  • 1/2   medium seedless cucumber
  • 1 cup (250 mL) snow peas, trimmed
  • 1   small red onion
  • 4   radishes
  • 1 1/4 lbs (575 g) boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup (50 mL) dry-roasted peanuts (optional)

Directions

  1. For dressing, combine vinaigrette, 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the seasoning mix and peanut butter in Small Batter Bowl; whisk well using Stainless Whisk and set aside.

  2. For salad, rinse spinach; spin dry using Salad & Berry Spinner. Arrange spinach over Large Bamboo Platter, mounding slightly. Dice mangoes (see Cook's Tip). Dice cucumber and thinly slice peas on a diagonal using Santoku Knife. Slice onion crosswise using Ultimate Mandoline fitted with adjustable slicing blade on thin setting; cut rings in half. Thinly slice radishes using mandoline; cut slices into strips. Top spinach with even sections of cucumber, onion, peas, radishes and mangoes, leaving a space for chicken.

  3. Heat Grill Pan and Grill Press over medium heat 5 minutes. Brush chicken with oil using Chef's Silicone Basting Brush. Sprinkle chicken with remaining seasoning mix. Place chicken in pan; cover with press and cook 4-–5 minutes on each side or until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Remove chicken from pan; thinly slice and place over salad. If desired, coarsely chop peanuts using Food Chopper; sprinkle over salad. To serve, drizzle dressing over salad and toss using Bamboo Salad Claws.

To easily peel and cut mango into wedges, cut off top and bottom of mango to form a flat base; stand upright. Use the Mango Wedger to remove flesh. Cut flesh from skin using Avocado Peeler.
