A delightful and versatile sweet potato slaw with a ginger kick, perfect for two days of flavorful meals.
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, sugar, ginger, and salt until well combined.
Use a microplane to finely grate the ginger for a smoother dressing.
Grate the sweet potatoes and add them to the bowl with the dressing. Toss to coat evenly.
Grate the sweet potatoes just before mixing to keep them fresh and crisp.
Add the walnuts, peanuts, and scallions to the bowl and mix well.
Toast the nuts beforehand for enhanced flavor.
Reserve half of the slaw for the next day and serve the remaining slaw as a side dish or in lettuce cups.
Chill the slaw for 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
On the second day, mix the reserved slaw with the cooked chicken and hoisin sauce in a medium bowl.
Warm the chicken slightly before mixing for a comforting meal.
Serve the Day 2 slaw over a bed of mixed greens.
Garnish with additional scallions for a fresh touch.
