Nik's Asian Chicken Salad
Optional: tomatoes (to me a salad isn't a salad without tomatoes, cucumbers)
For the chicken:
3 large chicken breasts
1 c. unflavored Greek yogurt
1 tbsp lite soy sauce
1 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp minced garlic
Directions:
Place the Greek yogurt, soy sauce, ginger, red pepper flakes and minced garlic in a zip-top bag and marinate on the counter for an hour (or in the fridge for a few hours). The longer you marinate, the more tender the chicken will be.
When ready, grill your chicken with whatever grilling mechanism you see fit (I used my George Foreman grill) until done. Remove from heat and set aside.
Set a DRY skillet over a medium flame and allow the pan to get hot. Empty your almond slivers into it. The key to toasting nuts (especially almonds) is to not overtoast them. You can tell when they are ready in two ways. #1 - they change color. Here's my almonds just in the pan:
In a bowl, empty your salad mix and throw your edamame and half your almonds in there. Drain your mandarin oranges (BONUS TIP: if you're ever in a place that doesn't sell no sugar added canned fruit, get the kind in light syrup. Bring it home, drain into a collander and rinse the fruit. Then place it in a container and put a little of your favorite sugar substitute in it). Add those to the bowl. Now comes the fun part. SHAKE YOUR SALAD!
