Just the right amount of kick (for me). I tossed a couple of peppers and everything else in the mini food processor. Did anyone else think that 1/2 cup was an awful lot of oil? I think I would cut back on it next time (more vinegar? water? not sure).
Loads of flavors and ingrediants

This was a fabulous salad! The only reason I gave it four stars was because it had so many ingrediants and took quite a while to make. I doubled the recipe and cooked two whole chickens to serve sseven people and it was barely enough. It was full of so many fresh flavors. I put the dressing in the blender which really helped mix in the peanut butter and made the dressing nice and smooth. In the end it was definately worth the trouble!
REALLY Good!!!!!!!!!

I made this last night exactly as written. The only thing I will change next time I make it is to cut the cilantro in half. Cilantros strong flavor overpowers the other wonderful flavors! I love the mint! It is so subtle you wouldn't know it was there...yet knowing it is there I can find it in my pallette! I love Bobby's recipies...there are so many layers of flavors that it is like going on a wild ride at an amusement park for your tounge! Try this salad! You will have to come back for more!
GREAT SALAD!!!

Made this salad last week and brought it to work. Everyone loved it and there wasn't a drop left over! I made only one change.....instead snow peas I added edamame and it turned out so good. Going to the beach this weekend and I'm going to make it again!

I followed this recipe precisely, and it took quite a bit longer to prepare than 20 minutes if you include washing all the produce, chopping and grating it all, shredding the rotisserie chicken and blending the dressing. I only mention this so that you give yourself a little more time to make this recipe. Julienne slicing the snow peas was quite time consuming, and in the future I would cut them differently. The salad dressing was delicious, and I really enjoyed most of the tastes of the salad except for the mint and cilantro. I found the mint to be overpowering and I would not use it again. I like cilantro, but would use a little less than 1/4 cup (a little goes a long way). These two herbs combined overpowered the salad and I couldn't taste the complexities of the dressing or the smokey taste of the rotisserie chicken.
Great salad!

I was a bit skeptical about the ingredients in the dressing but it was excellent. I did use the blender to emulsify it. I also used a mixture of cilantro and mint as well as red pepper which added nice color. Definitely a keeper!
Awesome salad

I hardly ever cook the same thing twice but my husband and I loved this so much he asked me to make this regularly. In answer to a reviewer about the chipotle puree, I used the canned chipotles in adobo (can be easily found in the mexican food section of any grocery store)and ran them through the food processor to make a paste. I don't think you want to use a chipotle sauce-which I am guessing is made by tobasco because it would be too smokey. It tasted fantastic!
So tasty!

Looking at the recipe there are alot of ingredients, but it really is pretty quick to make. Just like most salads, it is the chopping up of ingredients that takes the most time. With that said though, it did not take as long as you would think. Me and my husband loved the flavor. The recipe says that the chili oil is optional, but definetly put it in. It really gives this salad that extra kick!

I liked Flay's addition of snow peas and mint to this salad but I found his dressing bland despite many ingredients. I prefer Wolfgang Puck's "Chinese Chicken Salad with Chinese Mustard Vinaigrette." His dressing has more kick and there are fewer ingredients in the dish so it's a little faster to prepare.
Great summer dinner!

This recipe was so quick, easy, and full of flavor! The sauce is amazing! I used the pre-cut cole slaw mix from the store like a lot of other people. Instead of the rotisserie chicken, I just grilled some chicken breasts and shredded them on top of the salad. I also used sugar snap peas instead of snow peas for a little extra crunch and flavor. I'll definitely make this one again!
Yum!

This was delicious! I accidentally forgot to grill the limes, but the fresh lime juice added a wonderful fresh flavor to the salad. I also didn't have snow peas so I left them out, but it didn't taste like it was missing a thing. I can't believe how wonderful that dressing was. Next time I'll try grilling the limes as it can't hurt!

This is the best chinese chicken salad I have ever made. I have been making it for months now and it never fails to please. The first time I made it to the letter. Now I usually keep the veggies all cut up in the fridge and make a double batch of dressing and chicken and keep it on hand. The dressing is really special. Once I forgot to buy the chiplote sauce and substitued BBQ sauce - it was different, but still good in a pinch.

User: Marlys from Atlanta, GA User Rating:
I couldn't find the chipotle paste either but I pureed the chipotle in adobo and I put slightly more than what was recommended since I like things spicy. I also got the bagged shredded cabbage and carrots and then added some lettuce, sprouts and avocado. Instead of pouring the dressing into the greens, I had it on the side. That way, everything left over wouldn't be wilted. I couldn't find chili oil, but I didn't miss anything. Definitely going to make this again, it was soooooo good! Better and healthier than what you could get in a restaurant.

This is the BEST chinese chicken salad I've had (anywhere) and it's super easy because of the rotisserie chicken. My friends ask me all the time when I am making it again cos they love it so much. I switch up the veggies. Sometimes I use bean sprouts and I almost always add radicchio just cos it's pretty. It's all fantastic.
Fantastic!

This is so wonderful and really easy. I use pre-shredded cole slaw mix and regular bagged romaine lettce. I wasn't sure what chipolte pepper puree meant - I found chipolte hot sauce and used that. The chili oil drizzle is a must as is the mint. I served for lunch with sesame breadsticks; the entire thing was devoured. Try it - it's fantastic!

I love Thai food and I couldn't wait to make this recipe. My husband and I both loved it. The different textures in the salad were great. The mouth watering flavors were well worth the extra ingredients I had to buy to make it. The peanut dressing was just fantastic. I will keep this in my recipe book to make over and over again. I watched "Boy Meets Grills" for the first time last week and now I look forward to what he's cooking up next. Thanks so much, Teresa from Carmel, Indiana

This was a wonderful recipe. In my opinion, chinese chicken salad can only be so good--but it definitely doesn't get better than this! I used whole peanuts and if you like spice, be sure to add the hot pepper at the end. Also, I used chopped jalapeno instead of the chipotle peppers. Also, I put everything in a blender instead of whisking it. Wonderful!
Fabulous!

I've made this salad twice now and it is AWESOME! Like others, I couldn't find chipotle pepper puree so I pureed a can of chipotle peppers in adobo in the blender and used that. (It's great in Rachael Ray's Baked Chimichangas!) I definitely agree the dressing should be made in the blender and I saved even more time (but not necessarily money) by buying a rotisserie chicken, pre-shredded coleslaw cabbage and carrots, and bagged romaine salad. As my BF said, "It's like a spring roll in every bite!" :) Thanks for the great recipe, Bobby! YOU ROCK!

I never thought id be giving a salad a 4 star rating but here it goes. This was the best salad i have ever ate? Why not a 5? I rate food on how good it taste to me no matter what kind of food it is. For a salad it would rate a 5 but across all food its only a 4. Anyways the dressing was awesome. I will definitly make this one again. Only thing i can say. If you want to make it look good cause your having guest then use romain and napa cabbage. If you just are eating it yourself and don't care just use iceberg lettuce. It will taste the same.

It's great to know that I can now make a restaurant caliber dressing in my own kitchen. I felt healthy after eating all the crunchy veggies too...great on a warm summer evening. I substituted cucumber for the snow peas and it worked nicely. Can't wait to share with family & friends. Thanks, Bobby! Your wife is one lucky lady. ;-)

Unless you're sure everyone is going to finish this all in one sitting, don't toss it with the dressing so you have some leftovers the next day. Otherwise, the lettuce will be yucky by morning.

Can only rate the dressing but just made it and it is fantastic! I added a touch more chipotle and sesame oil for my tastes. And as an added thought, this would make a fabulous dip for sate if you cut the canola oil down by half or so in order to thicken the mixture. As for the salad going limp quickly, in my experience, all Chinese chicken salads suffer from this problem.
