Summer Chicken Skin Salad FirstThis week, I want to share a summer chicken skin salad recipe with yall. Delicious, affordable and easy-to-assemble, I cant wait to share it with you and I hope youll like this recipe as much as we do.

Summer Chicken Skin Salad IngredientThe main ingredient is, of course, the chicken skin. I found it at our local Asian grocery store, it comes pre-packaged and costs only about $3 for a full pounds worth in the meat section. I also used carrot and leek to add texture, color and flavor to the dish.

Summer Chicken Salad PrepTo start, I julienned the carrot and leek (if you dont have leek handy, scallion is a great alternative as well), and cut the chicken skin into long strips. Now its time to cook the chicken skin by adding them into a pot, filling with cold water, bringing to boil and simmering until chicken skins fully cooked. For carrot and green onion, I like to blanch them separately and combine with the cooked chicken skin in a bowl to cool down.

Mix Chicken Skin SaladHere comes the highlight of this Summer Chicken Skin Salad, the seasoning! To add a nice spice kick that complements the richness of the chicken skin, I mixed together Black Bean in Chili Oil sauce (one of the most popular chili oil sauce in China), soy sauce, sugar and salt for the dressing.

Summer Chicken Skin SaladThis is the perfect quick meal for the summer, it only takes 15 mins to make and is both refreshing and bold in flavor.
