Directions
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.
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.
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.
To serve, toss salad with remaining dressing; top with chicken mixture and serve immediately on Simple Additions® Large Rectangular Platter with Handles.
