Asian Chicken Salad
- Details
We’re crazy in love with our Cascade Mushroom Mix, featured in this Asian chicken salad with just the right embellishments. We put the mushroom mix in the marinade, where the umami flavor magic made the meat meatier. The depth of flavor was unbelievable, so we created two more versions to enjoy!
For the Asian chicken salad, we added carrots, cashews, and bok choy. After you’ve tried this recipe, check out our Middle Eastern and Mediterranean versions for more mushroom marinade goodness!
