Asian Stylez Chop Chop Salad

My brother came over for dinner and said he would do the main while we did the rest. He wanted to do an Asian meal so he made Carrot Ginger Rice and Garlic Ginger Chicken which was amazing btw. So I thought this was the perfect opportunity to make a chopped salad!

Ingredients

Serves 4 as a side salad


Here is the whole meal!

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp sesame oil
1 crushed garlic clove
juice of 1-2 limes
salt and pepper to taste
small bunch fresh cilantro, torn
1 red chili, thin sliced
3-4 green onions, diced
2 handfuls bean sprouts
2 small carrots, grated
1/2 cucumber, julienned
1/4 cup salted peanuts, smashed
1 romaine heart, diced

Instructions

1. Make your dressing by combining in a jar or salad dressing shaker if you're fancy like that, the olive oil, crushed garlic, juice of 1-2 limes depending on how juicy, sesame oil and salt and pepper to taste. Shake well and set aside. The ratio of olive oil to lime juice should be 3:1.
2. Chop, dice, julienne, dice etc. all of the salad ingredients as described above and combine in a serving bowl. Right before serving drizzle with the salad dressing, toss and serve.

oooo I just had a good idea! This would make a complete meal out of this salad if you grilled some chicken breast with some sort of satay peanut or almond butter sauce!!! oh-em-gee need to make NOW...
