ASIAN SLAW SALAD

February 28, 2018

Honestly this is just like, the lightest, freshest thing you have ever tasted. And then with some zip and spice too. It’s good as is for a side or lunch serving. BUT I CAN’T HELP MYSELF and often shred up some slow cooker chicken teriyaki which makes me like this even more. This recipe uses a really neat way to make the onion and carrot feel sweet and tart like they’re pickled, but in a really short amount of time. Just some sugar, vinegar, a dash of salt, and boiling water.

It takes like three minutes to get it going and you have tasty pickled onion and carrot in like zero seconds, while you’re making everything else.

      Sure thing! Thanks for writing.

    In the ingredients for your Asian Chicken Salad you list 1 cup vinegar. You say to add the vinegar to the carrots and later you say to add the vinegar to the ground cooked chicken. How much do you add to the carrots & how much do you add to the chicken?

    The recipe looks great & I’d like to try it.

    Thanks!

      It’s the same vinegar for the carrots. Hope it works out!
