Spicy Asian Noodle Salad with Grilled Chicken

We tend to focus on the main event (the BBQ dish) when we think of summer entertaining. I don’t know about you, but I often struggle when thinking of a side dish. This Spicy Asian Noodle Salad aims to please.

Spicy Asian Noodle Salad

My family and I dine outside often during the summer months. We finally got a new outdoor table and we have been making the most out of it. This recipe for Spicy Noodle Salad is slightly adapted from Chicken Farmers of Canada and I choose it because although in the summer months I like to cool off, I also like to enjoy a little spice with my meals.

TBK’s Pro Tip: Don’t overwhelm yourself with backyard entertaining. There’s an app for that! The Shopping with Chicken App makes grocery shopping easy for your upcoming gathering.

I don’t know about you, but when I’m planning a get together with friends, I tend to overwhelm my brain and it’s certain that I forget ingredients at the grocery store. The Shopping with Chicken App takes care of my grocery list for me. The Chicken App is where I add my grocery list, but it has a share feature to make life that much easier. This feature allows my husband and I share a grocery list, so if he happens to be at the store he can check the list and pick up a few things for dinner. It saves me time and when I forget important items, he can grab them for me.

Remember to look for the Raised By a Canadian Farmer logo to ensure that your chicken was raised with mandatory and auditable programming for things like food safety and animal care. These are factors that matter to me. I want to ensure that the chicken I’m serving my family was raised right with a safe environment. This logo gives me peace of mind with not only knowing my chicken was raised with care but also because I love knowing that I’m supporting a local farmer. All Canadian chicken is free of hormones and steroids.

Spicy Asian Pasta Salad

This spicy noodle salad is perfect for summer BBQs or potlucks. I added cashews for a sweet crunch and I think fresh broccoli would be another winning vegetable to add. I love raw broccoli in summer salads.

If you don’t want a ton of spice, take out the red chili flakes. I personally don’t find the chili paste that hot, but add a tsp at a time and taste test in between.
