Chicken Satay Noodle Salad (Rachel Ray)








Ingredients














Salt






1 pound whole wheat spaghetti






1/3 cup peanut butter, softened






2 tablespoons honey






1/4 cup tamari (dark soy sauce)






Juice of 2 limes






1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (eyeball it)






1 clove garlic, grated







3 tablespoons vegetable oil (eyeball it)






2 cups skinned and sliced rotisserie chicken






1 cup packed fresh spinach, thinly sliced






1/3 cup shredded carrots (a generous handful)






4 scallions, thinly sliced on an angle






1/4 cup chopped peanuts






2 tablespoons chopped cilantro or parsley







1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt it, add the pasta and cook until al dente. Drain; rinse under cold water and set aside.
2. While the pasta is working, in a large bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, honey and 1/4 cup warm water. Whisk in the tamari, lime juice, hot pepper sauce and garlic. Pour in the oil in a steady stream, whisking to combine. Add the reserved noodles and toss to coat.
3. Place the noodles in 4 shallow bowls and top with the chicken, spinach, carrots, scallions, peanuts and cilantro.

YUM-O! Ha ha...

So here is my question: So is it OK to use honey here or does it need to be substituted? I've been on this program for about 8 weeks now and things like that still confuse me a bit.

Thanks for another tasty looking recipe!

We don't use honey on South Beach.

I thought so... I saw it in the recipe, so I just wasn't sure. I have been avoiding those types of recipes so far (there are so many to choose from anyway!), but it's nice to get a definite answer.

Thanks Cathy!

Right. I meant to edit that, but forgot to! I made this last night (without the honey). It was very good, but next time I'll add a packet of Spenda to the dressing to cut back on the tartness of the lime.

On the menu for the upcoming week - as for the honey, I'll just have my DH put his finger in it.... :-)
