Asian Chicken Slaw Recipe

This is an easy, tasty side dish or light lunch.

1 - 16oz bag of coleslaw mix
1 pound of cooked chicken, shredded (I use precooked breasts or left over rotisserie chicken)
2 cups of broccoli  florets (blanched) You can get frozen broccoli or fresh
1 cup sugar snap peas (the frozen ones are hard to find. Fresh ones seasonal)
1 red bell pepper (or can use green pepper if you have it) thinly sliced
1 cup sliced scallions (I used an onion since I had it)
1 /2 cup chopped cashews (optional - but highly recommended)

Combine in a bowl and toss.

Dressing:
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 Tbs white vinegar
2 Tbs smooth peanut butter
1 Tbs sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp freshly grated ginger (I did not have any so I used 1/4 tsp of ground ginger)
1/2 cup canola oil
1 Tbs sesame oil

Whisk together in a small bowl. Drizzle over salad and toss.

Makes 10 servings.

Baked Potato Salad

Do you frequently have baked potatoes left over? We usually do. I have a family favorite potato salad recipe. You can use the left over baked potatoes or boil potatoes to make the salad -either way it is delish.

Potato Salad (Baked Potato Salad)

Potatoes -  For the recipe I will use 4 baked potatoes, you can also chop and boil 4 - 6 potatoes
2 boiled eggs
3/4 cup of mayo
1/4 cup sour cream
mustard - maybe a Tablespoon
paprika 1/4 teaspoon or so
garlic 1 clove, minced
salt a few dashes
pepper a few dashes
onion - 1/4 finely chopped
celery 1 stalk, chopped
apple cider vinegar 2 Tablespoons

Mix the Mayo, sour cream and following ingredients in a bowl. Add the dressing to the potatoes and the boiled eggs. Toss to mix.

Keep refrigerated.

*I don't really measure this so it is hard to give it exact measurements. It is a dash of this, few of these, etc.

Enjoy!
