Family-Favorite Salad
This Chinese chicken salad recipe is definitely a family favorite in our home. It’s on our weekly dinner menu almost monthly or more. The flavors are addicting and I am always craving it. Something about that amazing dressing just makes it the best salad ever. I love the combination of the chicken, cabbage, and crunchy noodles on top. Extra crunchy noodles please! You can never have too many. This recipe tastes like something you’d order at a restaurant but in the comfort of your own kitchen and home. That’s a winning recipe in my book!
Chinese Chicken Salad Dressing
The dressing is the star in this recipe. The ingredients are as follows:
sugar soy sauce sesame seeds all spice rice wine vinegar vegetable oil sesame oil
Mix all of the dressing ingredients (except oils) to a glass jar. Cover and shake vigorously for 2 minutes until well blended. Add in the oils and shake for another 3 minutes, or until oils are emulsified into the vinegar. Chill this dressing for at least 2 hours. ASSEMBLE THE SALAD. Add all of the salad ingredients to a big bowl. Pour the chilled dressing over it right before serving. Toss and top with additional sesame seeds and crunchy noodles.
