Wasabi Chicken Pasta Salad Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Remittancegirl / All my dishes 7 months, 3 weeks ago This is a bit of a fusion salad - combining the creamy freshness of a pasta salad, with the oriental zing of wasabi and soy.

Ingredients

2 cups Cooked chicken breast, diced (if starting from scratch, roast the chicken breast with a little soy sauce for a nuttier flavour)

2 cups Cooked pasta (rotini or penne works best)

1 Green bell pepper, diced

2 Stalks of celery, diced

2 Green onions, minced

1/2 small onion, minced

1 small cucumber, diced

2 heads of Romaine lettuce or butter lettuce, washed, dried and torn.

For the dressing:

1 cup mayonnaise

2 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp red wine vinegar (or rice wine vinegar, if you have it)

1 tbsp Soy sauce

1/2 tsp wasabi powder or paste (more if you like it spicy)

1 clove garlic

Salt, pepper and a little sugar to taste

Directions

In a bowl, assemble all ingredients except the lettuce. It's not a bad thing if the pasta is still warm from cooking - it will "suck up" the dressing better.

For making the dressing, put all dressing ingredients in a blender, making sure that the garlic becomes finely minced. Taste and add sugar or salt if needed. You're after a slightly sweet and sour zing.

Add the dressing to the bowl full of ingredients and toss until all elements are thoroughly coated. Chill in fridge for at least 4 hours.

Serve on a bed of lettuce.

I've just started cooking with wasabi, so this is going to be a real treat to try! (BTW, I like the idea of cooking the chicken in a bit of soy sauce for more flavour..) I look forward to trying this!
Thanks (yet again!) RemittanceGirl:)
