Basic Chinese chicken salad. You’ll never buy a “kit” again.
Chop or shred lettuce (use romaine hearts, use a couple or 1 small head of iceberg). Toss together with green onions, cilantro, and cooked chicken (great use of leftover rotisserie chicken as well – about a cup will do).
For the sauce, mix together soy sauce, sugar and vinegar until the sugar is dissolved. Whisk in sesame oil in a steady stream. You can also use a mini food processor that allows you to add liquids while in motion.
Toss together with salad right before serving and top with almond slivers if desired. You can also use the fried wonton skins, fried noodles, or just a teaspoon or two of sesame seeds.
You won’t get this kind of flavor in a kit.

I really liked this! I made double the dressing, although I probably didn’t have double the other ingredients. :o) Next time I’ll add some more veggies – I think carrots and red peppers would be good!
Really tasty! I liked the dressing a lot.
I had to substitute spring greens for the romaine and I also added mandarin oranges. It worked out great! Thanks!

Very tasty and easy to whip up! Love the cilantro and the toasty flavor the sesame oil adds. The only thing I added was a finely shredded carrot for a pop of color and a few dashes of pepper.
