Winter Salad With Hoisin Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• Combine vinaigrette ingredients in a food processor; process until well combined.
• Toss salad ingredients together.
• Top with vinaigrette, toss together and serve.

Steps:

• Combine hoisin sauce and vinegar in a bowl. Slowly whisk in both of the oils until emulsified.
• combine mesclun and water chestnuts in large bowl and toss with enough vinaigrette to lightly coat.
• tranfer to serving bowl and top with red onion, thinly sliced.

Steps:

• Pat the chicken dry with paper towels, then season generously with salt and pepper. Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add the chicken and cook until browned on the first side, about 5 minutes. Flip the chicken over, add ½ cup water, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and continue to cook until the thickest part of the breast is no longer pink and registers about 165 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Poke a few vent holes in the plastic wrap and refrigerate the chicken while preparing the other ingredients. When the chicken is cold, shred it into bite-sized pieces.
• Meanwhile, shake the vinegar, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, hoisin, soy sauce, and ginger together in a jar with a tight-fitting lid; set aside.
• Toss the shredded chicken, carrot, cabbage, red pepper, sprouts, scallions, and cilantro in a large serving bowl. Shake the dressing to recombine, pour it over the chicken salad, and toss to coat. Sprinkle with the chow mein noodles before serving.

Steps:

• Make vinaigrette:
• Blend all ingredients in blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Make salad:
• Grind peppercorns, coriander seeds and fennel seeds to fine powder. Lightly spray steak with nonstick spray; sprinkle each side with salt, pepper and 1 1/2 teaspoons spice mix. Let stand 30 minutes.
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill steak until cooked to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Using tongs, transfer steak to cutting board. Tent with foil to keep warm. Let rest 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, spray asparagus and onion slices with nonstick spray; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill asparagus until crisp-tender and slightly charred, turning often, about 5 minutes. Transfer asparagus to plate. Keeping slices intact, grill onion until slightly charred and almost tender, about 4 minutes per side; transfer to plate with asparagus.
• Cut steak crosswise into thin slices. Arrange steak and asparagus on 6 plates. Drizzle with vinaigrette. Garnish salads with some onion rings and orange slices.
