Chinese Chicken Salad

I can’t begin to Thank You all enough for all the sweet well-wishes with my recovery. I am on Day 6 and progressing daily. Still a little sore but finally getting around the house and feeling better every day.

Okay, now we need to talk about this salad. This CHINESE CHICKEN SALAD! I made this for dinner a few days before my surgery and we just loved it. Shredded carrots, green onion, red cabbage over a bed of romaine lettuce. Then you top it with the most delicious chicken and Chinese dressing. Yummers. It has so much flavor in every bite!

Even though Fall is quickly approaching, and my Halloween decorations are begging to be put up (I’m probably doing that next week 😀 ) I still love to eat salads. Pretty much year round, and in my opinion, that’s a good thing. 🙂 I’m putting this one back on the menu next week for sure!

Chinese Chicken Salad is loaded with veggies, grilled chicken and lots of flavor!

  1. Thanks for the dinner inspiration. I already have a large bottle of dressing from Costco. I like it but it’s not my favorite so I took a cue from your recipe and added soy sauce to the dressing before tossing the salad. Much better.

  2. This looks amazing. if I wanted to use leftover Rotisserie Chicken (because that’s what I have on hand) how would you do that?
