I decided it was time to take a break from laundry, cleaning, and packing. This week's recipe is for easy, light, and delicious Chinese Chicken Salad. I thought it would be good to post something lighter before everyone eats their weight in turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes this week. I love this salad. I just kind of throw everything in, so the amounts will vary depending on what you like, but the dressing is measured and very easy. Here you go!Chinese Chicken Salad
lettuce (I usually use iceberg)
chopped celery
chopped green onions
slivered almonds
mandarin oranges (I just use a can)
cooked chicken, chopped
crunchy chow mein noodles
Dressing:
1/4 c. vegetable oil
2 T. sugar
1 T. soy sauce
2 T. rice vinegar
1/2 tsp. sesame oil*
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
Mix together. Toss with salad just before serving. Yum!
*If you don't have it, you can use a little bit of creamy peanut butter. Sounds weird, but it tastes pretty good. Of course, sesame oil is best.

Yum! If there are 8 or less ingredients I am more likely to try it. :) I could probably pull this one off without even having to go to the grocery store.
Have you ever had "peanut sauce"? I wonder if the peanut butter substitution would make it taste like that. (I like peanut sauce flavor.)
I love Chinese Chicken Salad! Thanks for sharing.
PS Huge question/ favor to ask: Do you guys have a pack n play that you won't be using the week after Christmas? We are going to be in Provo with my family and I am looking for one to use, so we don't have to fly with one. If you have one, could we borrow it? :) Thanks, and Have a great Thanksgiving!!
