Well, the creative part of my brain was literally dead for a few weeks. I so needed a break!<\/p>\n<p>Yup, it was vacation time last week.<\/p>\n<p>We vacationed in St Martin, a beautiful island in the Caribbean. Relaxed in the resort, roamed around the island aimlessly, tried\u00a0delicious caribbean delicacies and had a jolly time. One of the attractions in Maho beach is plane spotting\u00a0as the airport is pretty close to the beach; people could stand directly under the low flying flight\u00a0as it makes the mighty landing. When the plane takes off, the jet blast would blow you away into the ocean, it was quite an experience. Anyhow, I am back with a bang with lots of good St Martin memories.

Had a chat\u00a0with one of my friends before cooking dinner , she mentioned about Asian ginger vinaigrette and\u00a0her love for it. That kind of helped me to decide on what to make for dinner- it&#8217;s going to be a salad, of course with chicken and drizzled with an Asian dressing. I had peanut butter in my pantry, hence it&#8217;s going to be peanut butter dressing with Asian flavors. I am not a huge fan of peanut butter, however I loved this dressing. This dressing has so much flavor, the added ginger, garlic and lemon juice makes it zesty.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Peanut butter dressing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22333\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Peanut-butter-dressing.jpg\" alt=\"Peanut butter dressing\" width=\"475\" height=\"713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Peanut-butter-dressing.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Peanut-butter-dressing-133x200.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22331\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Chicken-Salad-with-Peanut-butter-dressing.jpg\" alt=\"Chicken Salad with Peanut butter dressing\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Chicken-Salad-with-Peanut-butter-dressing.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Chicken-Salad-with-Peanut-butter-dressing-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Chicken-Salad-with-Peanut-butter-dressing-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe mceNonEditable\" data-rating=\"0\"> \t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Chicken-salad-with-Asian-Peanut-butter-dressing.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Chicken Salad with Asian Peanut Butter Dressing<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Main<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">Asian<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Thasneen<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT15M\">15 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT15M\">15 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT30M\">30 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">4 People<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]For cooking chicken[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Chicken breasts, cut into wedges- 2 breasts<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Soy sauce- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Hoisin sauce- 1\/2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ground pepper- 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]For making peanut butter dressing[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Creamy peanut butter- 1\/4 cup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Soy sauce- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Rice vinegar- 2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Lemon juice- 2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Oil- 3 tbsp (I used coconut oil)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Honey- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Garlic, grated- 1 clove<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ginger, grated- 1 inch slice<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Fresh Cilantro leaves- 2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Freshly ground pepper- 1\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Water- 3 tbsp to thin down the dressing<\/li>\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]Veggies[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Red pepper, julienned- 1<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Carrots. julienned- 2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Green onions, chopped- 1 stalk<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Peanuts- to garnish<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">In a saucepan, combine the chicken with soy sauce, hoisin sauce and ground pepper.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Place the saucepan over medium heat, cook covered till the chicken has cooked well and turns light brown.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Remove the pan from the heat and let chicken cool down.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Into a blender, add all the ingredients for making the peanut butter dressing and blend till smooth.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Into a bowl, add the cooked chicken and veggies, pour the peanut butter dressing over and combine well.
