6. Kung Pao Salad

By Anne in Asian-Inspired, Main Course Salad, Uses Leftovers

The alternate name for this specimen is The Chinese Takeout Grumpy-With-A-Head-Cold Salad

Kung Pao Salad

No dressing needed but the sauce from the Kung Pao.

Ingredients:

  • Leftover Kung Pao chicken (warm or cold)
  • Frisée
  • Radishes, sliced
  • Red onion, sliced
  • Crunchy apples, sliced

Enjoy with a cup of hot & sour soup–and lots of water or tea. 

Wish I had fresh grated ginger, too. 

Benefits to a grumpy person with a cold: easy; spicy; crunchy, no dairy

    I bet you could do something similarly yummy with leftover Orange Chicken. Nothing like leftover deep-fat-fried-covered-in-gooey-sauce chicken on a salad!

    Hope you’re feeling better soon.

    Oh, wow. That could be perfect with a cold, too: Throw in some orange slices & bell pepper for vitamin C! It would taste AWESOME with bitter greens. Maybe arugula?
