EZCR#18 - CHICKEN SALAD WITH GINGER/ONION DRESSING

A nice chicken salad that is easy to prepare. The main ingredient here is chicken meat. Zucchini/carrot are added for a crunchy texture and colour. Mixed with the fragrant ginger/onion dressing, the salad is aromatic. If you like it spicy, replace the oil with Szechuan Chilli Oil.   This dressing is quite similar to ginger/spring onion coulis.

This salad is good for hot and humid weather. It is an appetizing cold dish and the flavour is rather mild [use more ginger/onion dressing for more intense flavour].
