This is my favorite Chinese Chicken Salad.

This vinaigrette is wonderful and this makes
a lot so you can use at another time, or if
you’re having a big crowd this should do the job.
Since summer is approaching, I am always looking
for a gourmet salad recipe, something that is
different and a wonderful home gourmet surprise.
Ingredients

For the Vinaigrette:
Combine all the vinaigrette ingredients in a mixing bowl
and whisk well, making sure that the peanut butter has
dissolved and blended with the other ingredients.
For the Chicken:
Mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, and ginger and pour
over the chicken in a zip lock bag. Marinate for about
one hour, then grill the chicken until cooked through.
Cool, and slice the chicken.
