Chicken Salad with Pickled Ginger

A hearty, vitamin-packed salad — you have to try it! Chicken and pickled ginger make a great pairing for a zesty salad. Chicken breast works best, though tenderloins are fine too. Pick whatever lettuce you prefer, but romaine is just about perfect here. The dressing on its own might taste sharp from the vinegar, but it comes together beautifully in the salad — feel free to cut back the vinegar to taste if you like. The sesame oil is essential in this recipe; it gives the dish its special charm.

    1. Start with the dressing. Pour the sesame oil and rice vinegar into a blender, then add the soy sauce and a little ground ginger. 2. Peel the red onion, cut it into a few chunks, and add it to the blender with the liquids. 3. At this point, add the honey, a little mustard, and pepper to taste. The recipe uses ground red pepper, but you can use black if you prefer. 4. Blend everything on medium speed for 2–3 minutes. The dressing should be completely smooth, without a single piece of onion. 5. Rinse the chicken breast under running water and pat it dry with paper towels. Sear it lightly in a grill pan, then salt it and wrap it in foil. 6. Bake in an oven preheated to 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes. Wrapped in foil, the meat won't brown — it stays pale and juicy. 7. Don't waste the baking time. Peel the onion and slice it into thin half-rings. 8. Wash the romaine and let it dry. Wash and dry the cilantro too, then chop it finely with a sharp knife. Tear the lettuce into rough pieces by hand. 9. Take the chicken out of the oven and let it cool a bit, then cut it into pieces. Put the chicken in a bowl and pour over the dressing you made earlier. Let it sit for 5 minutes. 10. Arrange the lettuce, cilantro, and onion on a serving dish, then top with the chicken and pickled ginger. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve right away. Enjoy!
