I went to Costco and picked up one of their famous rotisserie chickens (what a steal for $5!). Here's an easy and relatively healthy salad to make at home or to bring to a party.
Chinese Chicken Salad (Josephine's version)
For the salad:
2-4 rotisserie chicken breasts, shredded (or mixture of dark & white meat)
1 head napa cabbage, cored and thinly sliced
1 head radicchio, cored and thinly sliced
1 bag of bean sprouts
2 carrots, shredded
4 green onions, thinly sliced (white and green part)
4T sesame seeds, lightly toasted
For the vinaigrette:
2tsp dry Chinese mustard powder (or Colman's powder)
1/4 rice wine vinegar
1tsp soy sauce
2T light sesame oil
3T peanut oil (I used vegetable oil and it was fine)
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2T honey
Directions:
1. Mix together all the vegetables in a large serving bowl
2. Top with shredded chicken
3. Place all the vinaigrette ingredients in a blender until smooth. Correct the seasonings as needed.
4. Pour vinaigrette over salad
5. sprinkle sesame seeds on top
Napa meets SF. Press Club markets themselves as the "wine country experience in
tasting bars, lounge areas, and retail store. I just went last night and thought the space and interior were beautiful and the concept appealing. However, found it to be a bit pretentious and overly priced. There are tasting bars lined against the perimeter featuring 8-10 wineries with a bar in the back that features all the wine.
