The saga of this particular salad began when it was in Tex Mex form, jokingly called "The 656-Layer Salad" or whatever number we chose to use because the number of layers is constantly shifting. This version is the result of a recent experiment on my part, an experiment that proved to be tasty as well as healthy. Enjoy :-).

Ingredients

  • 1 bag cabbage, shredded
  • 1/2 bag carrots, chopped
  • 5 stalks green onions
  • 1/2 cup jalapeno peppers
  • 1/2 cup garlic
  • 1 bag broccoli florets
  • 1 cup red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup yellow bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 package mushrooms, fresh
  • 1 pound chicken tenderloins
  • 1 bottle asian sesame lite dressing
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons cumin
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1 cup cilantro, fresh

How To Make multi-layered asian salad

  • Step 1
    Cube chicken tenderloins and stir-fry in a half-cup of the Asian dressing along with the jalapeno, onion, garlic, curry powder, and a dash or two of salt. Add a bit of olive oil if needed.
  • Step 2
    Melt peanut butter in a saucepan or the microwave just enough to make it easily mixable. Stir remaining spices and Asian dressing into the peanut butter and stir until thoroughly mixed.
  • Step 3
    Layer the veggies as desired, pouring half of the Asian/peanut dressing over the first half of veggie layers. I do recommend using the chicken as the center layer of the salad. Layer remaining veggies and pour remaining dressing over them.
  • Step 4
    Serve immediately or chill for later :-).
