Mushroom and Shredded Chicken Salad

"A quick to prepare Asian-influenced salad which could be served as a main course or a side dish, from 'tossed: 200 fast, fresh and fabulous salads'. If any of your mushrooms are particularly large, quarter them or chop them to an appropriate size. Ideal for making on a busy week-night with a takeaway - or take out - roasted chicken. BTW, 7 oz = 200g; 14 oz = 400g. The lime and soy dressing could be made in advance."

  1. Excellent! Even my husband - Mr. Ranch dressing and croutons loved it and said he'd gladly have it again. Used chili sauce (didn't have the sweet) and added green onions and slivered almonds. Thanks!
     
  2. WOW not only delicious but very filling. I scaled this back to 1 serve and used porterbello mushrooms which I thickly sliced. I didn't have lime so had to used lemon juice but it was very tasty and very filling. I used a mix of baby salad leaves, a little grated carrot and some cherry tomatoes halved, a great lunch, thank you bluemoon downunder, made for ZAAR STARS TAG GAME.
     
  3. I really liked this salad. I'm not a big fan of Asian food, but I enjoyed this one. It was simple to make and tasted great. Thanks for sharing. Made for Gimme 5 tag.
     
  4. Really enjoyed this Asian salad. It was a flash to prepare and was a recipe that I could easily half. I loved the zippy Asian dressing, which I had dumped altogether in with the chicken and mushroom mixture. We ate as a main meal tonight, it was enough to fill the two of us right up.
     
  5. excellent supper salad, truly enjoyed it.

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority! <br> <br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
