Asian Cobb Salad Served On Bamboo Platter and Bamboo Cracker Tray and Spoon Set Giveaway 9/29/13

Today on Bella Home Goods I am featuring the Pampered Chef Bamboo products. I love the Bamboo Platter because it looks beautiful for entertaining and is very easy to take care of. I like to keep my set looking pristine so I hand wash with some dish soap and dry and my set still looks like brand new! The platter also comes with matching items that compliment it very well such as the Medium Bamboo Square. cracker tray, and bamboo Salad Tongs used to toss and serve salad with one hand and they fold flat for easy storage. Did you know that Bamboo is a grass and is actually the fastest growing plant on the planet. This sustainable and renewable resource naturally replenishes itself by constantly sending up new shoots from its root system, so there's no need for replanting. Plus, bamboo:

•Resists staining, cracking and warping.

•Doesn't conduct heat.

•Doesn't absorb moisture.

•Is harder and more durable than traditional hardwood.

Serve everything from fruits and vegetables to appetizers and desserts!

Asian Cobb Salad
Ingredients.

1/2 cup (125 mL) lite Asian vinaigrette salad dressing
3 tbsp (45 mL) Asian Seasoning Mix, divided
1 tbsp (15 mL) reduced-fat peanut butter
1 bag (6 oz/175 g) fresh baby spinach leaves (about 4 cups/1 L)
2 ripe mangoes
1/2 medium seedless cucumber
1 cup (250 mL) snow peas, trimmed
1 small red onion
4 radishes
1 1/4 lbs (575 g) boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
1/4 cup (50 mL) dry-roasted peanuts (optional)
Directions.
1For dressing, combine vinaigrette, 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the seasoning mix and peanut butter in Small Batter Bowl; whisk well using Stainless Whisk and set aside.
2For salad, rinse spinach; spin dry using Salad & Berry Spinner. Arrange spinach over Large Bamboo Platter, mounding slightly. Dice mangoes (see Cook's Tip). Dice cucumber and thinly slice peas on a diagonal using Santoku Knife. Slice onion crosswise using Ultimate Mandoline fitted with adjustable slicing blade on thin setting; cut rings in half. Thinly slice radishes using mandoline; cut slices into strips. Top spinach with even sections of cucumber, onion, peas, radishes and mangoes, leaving a space for chicken.
3Heat Grill Pan and Grill Press over medium heat 5 minutes. Brush chicken with oil using Chef's Silicone Basting Brush. Sprinkle chicken with remaining seasoning mix. Place chicken in pan; cover with press and cook 4-–5 minutes on each side or until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Remove chicken from pan; thinly slice and place over salad. If desired, coarsely chop peanuts using Food Chopper; sprinkle over salad. To serve, drizzle dressing over salad and toss using Bamboo Salad Claws.
