Default Asparagus Chunk Chicken Salad

Most times we just make Asparagus on the grill in a nice sauce but I am thinking that maybe next time we will save a few and try this to go with it. I know our younger cousin is against grilled Asparagus so this might work in a pinch.

Servings: 8

Ingredients:

1 (5-ounce) can Hormel Chunk Breast of Chicken
1/2 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed, cut diagonally into 1 1/2-inch lengths and blanched
6 green onions, cut diagonally into 1 1/2-inch lengths
1 head romaine lettuce, cut crosswise into 1-inch strips
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons minced crystallized ginger
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Directions:

Drain chicken, reserving broth. In large bowl, combine chicken, asparagus, onions and lettuce; mix well.
To make dressing, in small saucepan, heat oil. Add garlic and ginger. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, 2 minutes. Blend in reserved broth, lemon juice, soy sauce and sugar; bring to a boil.
Pour dressing over salad; toss. Sprinkle with walnuts. Serve immediately.

Now this sound like it could be really good. I like asparagus and combining it with the chicken sounds good. I bet it would be even better with left over chicken.

Yum! I love asparagus and chicken both so this would be perfect for me. I love to try new recipes too and would be very interested in trying something new out.

This sounds pretty good and chunk canned chicken is one of the things we store a lot of. I am always looking for something new to do with the canned chicken!

This sounds just like something we would love and I think I will try it pretty soon. I'm thinking you could probably use turkey in place of chicken sometimes?
