Chinese Chicken Salad

 Chinese Chicken Salad with a whole lotta

Cook's Notes: No surprise I failed to follow the Chinese Chicken Salad recipe posted from damndelicious.com 

I figured out how to shortcut the recipe without compromising the taste. 

I used a rotisserie chicken for 3 cups of cooked meat, purchased a package of Asian Chopped Salad mixture, La Choy Crunchy Noodles, used the dressing from the salad kit, and then added chopped salted cashews on top of the salad.  The mandarin oranges were a tasty contrast to the other ingredients. 

I thought the salad was quite delicious and the perfect light summer meal. I loved all the textures, especially the crunch. The recipe serves four.  

Chinese Chicken Salad Ingredients:

• 1/2 of the package Asian Chopped Salad Kit
• 1/2 of the dressing mix (included in the salad kit package) 
• 1/2 can of the container of La Choy Asian Style Crunchy Noodles
• 1/2 cup roughly chopped salted cashew nuts
• 1 small can of Mandarin oranges, drained, patted dry with a paper towel 
• 2-3 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
• 1/3 cup diced green onions
• 1 cup crispy wonton strips (included in the salad kit) 

Directions:

• Mix all the ingredients above and serve immediately.
