A close second to this dressing is one that I normally use for my somen salad - Sesame Soy Chicken Salad Dressing Recipe. Because I'm trying to lose some post holiday weight, I've decided to play with the recipe a bit and cut out the fried wonton skins and maifun [it really DOES make the salad] but feel free to put it back in!
Lettuce greens of your choosing
arugula [I took some from my garden]
carrots
dried cranberries
slivered almonds
Chicken breast, shredded
Dressing Recipe:
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil [i used canola]
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tsp salt
6 Tbsp vinegar [i used rice wine vinegar but any white vinegar will do]
1/4 cup white sesame seeds, toasted
2 tsp sesame oil
mix together ingredients until combined and sugar is melted. Toss over salad ingredients listed above.

Hah, I will put it back in- but it looks good on its own, really :) Mandarin orange segments are pretty popular with these, too :)
ReplyDeleteYour salad sounds delish and I think I would add some crispy chinese noodles too. I am so jealous that you have a garden and we're knee deep in snow here!!
ReplyDeleteoh, i almost ALWAYS use the mandarin oranges...i just didn't have a can handy! :) will have to remember next time!!
ReplyDeleteMichelle...ouch. forgot about the snow...boo!! i'm sure when spring comes your garden will be so much better than the little pots i have!! :)
