It’s been ages since I’ve eaten Chinese Chicken Salad. I didn’t have a recipe, so I searched the internet. My recipe is a combination of others. I use everyday ingredients: Romain, coleslaw mix, celery. I think the star of the show, is the Asian Salad Dressing. The light colored (as opposed to light salt) soy sauce is palatable. It was easier to work with, than regular soy sauce, or tamari. Not overpowering. Not salty. The roasted sesame seed oil was very tasty, and kept me coming back for more. You definitely taste that the sesame seeds are roasted. A total game changer. I used recipetineats.com recipe, and appreciated how she walked me through the ingredients. I did make slight modifications to the dressing: stevia instead of sugar, roasted garlic instead of raw.

I served this salad, at a birthday party. It was like a mini salad bar; where everyone could choose their toppings. For this setup I quadrupled the salad dressing. The next time I make this I am going to add dried tart cherries.

 

If you make this into a layered salad, it will last longer. Separate the chicken, and mandarin oranges.
