  •   Salt and ground black pepper
  • 1  Tbsp. olive oil or cooking oil
  • 8  oz. fresh asparagus, trimmed
  • 8  oz. fresh sugar snap or snow pea pods, trimmed
  • 3  cups watercress, tough stems removed
  • 1  medium yellow sweet pepper, seeded and cut into thin strips
  • 1/2  cup grape tomatoes
  • 1  recipe Garlic Ginger Soy Dressing
  • 1  to 2 tsp. sesame seeds, toasted

Directions

1. Sprinkle chicken lightly with salt and pepper. In a large skillet cook chicken in hot oil over medium-high heat for 6 to 8 minutes or until no longer pink, turning to brown evenly. Remove chicken from skillet and cool slightly; place in an airtight container. Chill at least 1 hour or up to 2 days until ready to serve.

2. In a large saucepan cook asparagus and pea pods, covered, in a small amount of boiling salted water for 2 to 4 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain; rinse with cold water. Drain well. Serve immediately or place in an airtight container and chill up to 2 days.

3. To serve, in a very large bowl toss together chilled chicken, asparagus, pea pods, watercress, sweet pepper, and tomatoes. Add Garlic Ginger Soy Dressing; toss well. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Makes 6 servings.

4. Garlic Ginger Soy Dressing: In a screw-top jar combine 1/4 cup rice vinegar; 3 tablespoons olive oil; 1 clove garlic, minced; 1 teaspoon honey and 1 teaspoon soy sauce; 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted; 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger; 1/8 teaspoon salt; and dash ground black pepper. Cover and shake well. Serve immediately or store in refrigerator up to 1 week; shake before serving.
