Total Calories: 400

Ingredients

FOR THE SALAD:
1/2 pound snow pea, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch diagonal slices
3 cups cooked chicken, pulled from the bones in strips, skin discarded
4 green onions, , trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch diagonal slices
1/2 seedless cucumber, trimmed, peeled, halved lengthwise, and cut into 1/8-inch slices
1/2 red bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, cut into 1/8- by 1-inch pieces

FOR THE DRESSING:
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Chinese Black vinegar or red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon chili oil
1/4 cup chicken broth
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Directions:

TO MAKE THE SALAD: In a small saucepan heat about 2 cups salted water to boiling. Add the snow peas and blanch until crisp-tender, about 1 minute. Drain and plunge into ice water to crisp. When cold, drain well and pat dry with paper towels. In a large bowl combine the snow peas with the remaining salad ingredients.

TO MAKE THE DRESSING: In a food processor combine the first seven dressing ingredients and process until well blended. With the processor running slowly, add the broth to thin the dressing to a pouring consistency. Season with salt and pepper.

In a small sauté pan over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Pour the dressing over the chicken and vegetables and gently fold to coat. Just before serving, sprinkle the salad with the sesame seeds and garnish with the cilantro leaves. Serve cool or at room temperature.
