Chinese Chicken Salad

Because it was so hot today I decided to make us a salad and rolls for supper tonight.  And the salad I made is Chinese Chicken Salad.  Very simple ingredients to use and fast on the table!  There is one ingredient that I can't get here in the mainland that I used for this salad in Hawaii and that is won ton chips.. I suppose I could try to make some homemade ones but I know already it wouldn't taste the same so I substituted another ingredient for it.

Note: I had already removed some of this salad and put on two plates for me and hubby.

Ingredients:

lettuce broken up in pieces..

green onions aka leaf onions to me.. chopped

fried chow mein noodles(this is what I substituted for the won ton chips)

cashew nuts

chicken breasts ( I used chicken tenders)

I didn't put amounts here as you can make this a small or big salad.

Directions:

Boil your chicken breast with a little salt. remove when cooked and let cool

in a bowl ( I was making a big salad so used a big bowl)  break up the lettuce into pieces

chop up the onions add to the bowl

cut chicken into bite size pieces add to the bowl

Add the chow mein noodles

Add the cashew nuts

When you are ready to put on the table add the dressing and mix well

i served this salad with rolls.

Dressing:

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup  vinegar

1/4 cup sugar

Boil the above ingredients then remove from heat and add the following:

1/4 cup sesame oil

1/4 cup canola oil

Mix well to combine..I doubled the dressing ingredients to make sure there was enough for this big salad..
