Sheraton Airport Hotel/SFO

Millbrae, Calif.

A cobb salad is always a crowd-pleaser and packs well for grab-and-go service. To change up the usual all-American flavor combo, the Sheraton Airport Hotel at San Francisco’s airport adds a Thai-inspired dressing that enhances the grilled chicken and avocado. Mung bean sprouts, pea sprouts and shiitake mushrooms carry out the Asian theme.

Ingredients

Dressing

1 tsp. sesame oil

1 tsp. rice wine vinegar

1 tsp. fish sauce or salt to taste

1 tbsp. miso paste

2 tsp. sambal chili paste

1 tsp. brown sugar

1 garlic clove

Salad

12 shiitake mushrooms, sliced

1 oz. canola oil

8 (4 oz.) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, grilled

4 ripe avocados, peeled and diced

2 carrots, peeled and julienned

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 heads romaine lettuce, shredded

½ cup mung bean sprouts

½ cup pea sprouts

½ bunch cilantro, chopped

8 (4 oz.) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, grilled and cubed

4 ripe avocados, peeled and diced

2 carrots, peeled and julienned

1 bunch green onions, sliced

 

Steps

  1. For dressing, in blender, combine sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, fish sauce, miso paste, sambal chili paste, brown sugar and garlic; blend until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.

  2. For salad, place sliced shiitake in large bowl; toss together with 1ounce canola oil and salt and pepper to taste. Remove shiitakes from bowl and place on sheet pan. Bake at 350 F for 10 minutes, or until toasted.

  3. In another large bowl, toss shredded romaine lettuce, mung bean sprouts, pea sprouts and cilantro with dressing. On top of greens, arrange a row each of diced chicken, diced avocados, julienned carrots, sliced shiitakes and sliced green onions.
