Fresh and Easy
1/2 package chow mein noodles
1/2 head of lettuce, sliced in strips
1/2 head shredded green cabbage
3 c. cut up and seasoned cooked chicken
1 medium carrot, slivered
4 green onions, thinly sliced
1 T. sesame seeds
mandarin oranges and slivered almonds for garnish
Prep salad, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
DRESSING
1/3 c. oil
1/4 c. vinegar
1 T. sugar (or sugar substitute)
2 tsp low sodium soy sauce
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp salt (we leave it out)
Combine everything but the oil and whisk vigorously as you slowly add the oil – or drizzle in a stand mixer so it blends well. Refrigerate an hour or more to blend the flavors.
To serve: Pour a modest amount of dressing with the salad, garnish and serve with additional dressing on the side.
