As part of Lee Kum Kee Europe‘s summer carnival BBQ campaign, I came up with a quick, simple and healthy recipe to satisfied everyone. Oriental Spicy Sesame Chicken Salad, a refreshing salad that goes brilliant with a sunny BBQ day or a lunch time meal or as a side for dinner. It can easily be turned into a vegetarian salad by replace in the meat with other colourful vegetables.
A selection of handy sauces was sent to me, they are all used very typically in Asian cooking and I always had some in my cupboards. The oriental sesame dressing is a new product from Lee Kum Kee, a pungent sesame dressing with a hint of chilli in the background. I was intrigued to using this new product and created a simple delicious recipe.
