OMG, this salad was totally amazing Shimmerchk!! I did however make my own chipotle puree from the whole ones in a store-bought jar, and used diced chicken (I too was a bit lazy LOL!) the dressing in this recipe is just so yummy I am thinking I will use this on other salads also!..I didn't have any mint leaves, so I left that out, but don't leave out the peanuts, they give the salad such a wonderful texture and flavor...this is better than any top restaurant salad...thank you so much for sharing, I will make this again and again!...Kitten

Terrific salad! Made it per the recipe except I got a bit lazy and diced the chicken rather than shred it. I recommend shredding it. The lighter texture is much better suited to the rest of the salad. This is going to be a repeat at our house. Thank you, shimmerchk.

This recipe was a winner to say the least...I changed it alittle because I wanted to give the chicken more flavor....I opened the seasoning pack of chicken top ramen and dredged the chicken pieces through it.(I cut the chicken in bite size pieces) I put sesame oil in my pan with two cloves of garlic and sauted the chicken....I then added a bit of garlic salt, season salt and pepper to the chicken while cooking...Decided that it would need a little heat so I added about one teaspoon of chili garlic sauce (found in Asian stores) and a little drizzle of chili oil....it came out so tasty and think it added to your already wonderful dish....I was married to a asian man and got use to cooking very spicy.....I am going on to checking for more of your posts....thanks....Oh, another thing that I tried was the oriental rice noodles, but I think that next time I am going to try the dry chow mein noodles....The sauce was perfect....

I am new to this web sight. I found this on the food network and it is wonderful. I add some red cabbage for extra color and crunch. Also fry up sliced won ton skins for even more crunch on the top!!!! One of my family favorites.

It takes awhile to prepare, but well worth the effort! It was sooo hot here I did not want to cook. I followed the recipe, except I could not find Chipotle paste and made my own, didn’t have mint or chili oil. FABULOIS!

I totally forgot to review this! It's a wonderful salad, made it for a friend of mine and we devoured it.

Oh, yum! I made this without the chicken to accompany a not-so-healthy asian-ish casserole. It was a big hit with even my kids! I julienned some jicama (cause I had it and thought the crunch would be good). I balked at the mint, since I'm just not a mint fan, however it was wonderful - everything worked together beautifully! I am thinking will make the dressing in advance and keep it in the fridge or freezer. Very addictive dressing. I will definitely make this again. I can't wait to serve this to friends and family — and expect to be asked for the recipe. Thanks for sharing it!

Crunchy fresh and delicious. I used smoked chicken breasts from my local deli. For Aussie readers, in place of puree of chipotle peppers, I used Mango Chilli sauce with Chipotles, made by Byron Bay Chilli Co. It was perfect. The salad is a great base to play around with - you could add or substitite sliced red bell pepper (which I did), beansprouts, celery etc. Thanks for a great recipe.

I saw Bobby Flay make this recipe on TV too and it looked so good I bought all the ingredients and made it the next day! I followed the recipe exactly, except I used leftover roast chicken. This is a perfect light supper on a warm summer day. Best of all, no cooking. Another thing I've done is portion it out into 4 individual servings, keeping the dressing separate. Then, when you want a salad, just pour some dressing over a portion! Makes a few quick & tasty lunches during the week!
