How often are you buying rotisserie chickens?

This turned out great! I used Gardein brand vegan teriyaki strips instead of chicken, and replaced the 1 tbsp hoisin sauce with teriyaki sauce. I also cut the oil by a few tablespoons and the dressing was still delicious.

I had to cut some corners but I used this recipe as my salad's staple. The results were very satisfying! The family enjoyed every bite! 
Thank you!

Excellent dressing with great flavor for this salad and it was quick and easy to make. The raw ramen noodles were a bit strange - wish I'd seen the suggestions in these comments to toast them.  Will try making again using chow mein noodles.

I love this recipe! My boyfriend and I enjoy it for dinner regularly. We use fake chicken meat (I’m vegetarian) and marinate it in the dressing. Totally delicious. We also like to add dried cranberries for color. I can’t recommend this recipe enough, especially the dressing.

I just made this for a light lunch to tide us over before our big meal this evening. I used green cabbage as that’s what I have and added some toasted sesame seeds.  My family really enjoyed it (who says men don’t like salad) and I can’t wait to make it again. My daughter-in-law asked for the recipe.

Good salad but I wish there were nutritional info on  calories, fat, sodium, etc. since I am counting calories now. Will try and find it online.

This was so delicious! Thank you for sharing!

Turns out instant ramen is good for more than just soups.

You Should Be Adding (Uncooked) Ramen Noodles To Your Salad

I know, I know - low carb salads and guilty pleasures don&#x27;t normally go together, but this is one of my go-to healthy recipes that I literally build my week around.

Top with chopped cilantro, almonds (1 cup) and sesame seeds and enjoy!

This crisp salad hits all the right flavor marks: sweet, salty, and savory. Plus, our simple sauce is made in a way that cuts out refined sugars and reigns in sodium.

Healthy Chinese chicken salad is a joy to make! Prep it in advance for a DIY salad kit! The flavorful homemade Asian dressing takes this restaurant recipe to the next level!

rotisserie chicken breast, shredded

head romaine lettuce, shredded

lettuce,

red cabbage, shredded

green onions,

cilantro leaves, roughly chopped

Asian salad dressing, using this

Garnishes: sesame seeds, crushed red pepper

Start by preparing the homemade Asian salad dressing so the flavors have a chance to meld together nicely.

After shredding the chicken breast, add it to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle half of the salad dressing directly on top of the chicken. With kitchen tongs, mix these ingredients together. Let the chicken sit and soak in all of that goodness while you finish prepping the remainder of the recipe.

Add the shredded romaine lettuce, iceburg lettuce, carrots and red cabbage to the mixing bowl. Add in the sliced green onions and chopped cilantro leaves. With tongs, toss the ingredients until well combined.

Generously garnish your Chinese chicken salad with sesame seeds, dried chili flakes, almonds, cashew halves and wonton strips. To keep your salad nice and crisp, do not add the remainder of the Asian dressing until serving time.

Place the salad dressing carafe with the remainder of the Asian dressing beside the serving bowl. As they serve themselves, family and guests can drizzle the dressing on top. Enjoy!

The salad sounds wonderful and I have all the ingredients to make it.  However, a whole head of iceburg lettuce and a head of romaine lettuce sounds like a lot of lettuce especially since it calls for only 2 cups of chicken.   Is this correct?  
Thank you

This recipe was delicious!  Very easy to make and authentic taste.  Great no cook summer lunch or dinner.  I used Rotisserie  chicken and paired it with potstickers.  Will definitely keep this recipe.

This was so gooooo!  I marinated ahi tuna in a little of the dressing then pan seared. It was a great aubstitute for the chicken.

Made this for dinner last night.  The dressing is very good.  I didn’t have molasses so subbed a little brown sugar.  We included both red and Napa cabbages, as well as red bell peppers.  Topped with sliced almonds and a few wonton strips for crunch.  Very tasty!

That looks so fresh and tasty!! I am actually not a fan of cilantro at all, although I sure wish I was right now.

This sounds delicious. If there are leftovers, do they keep well in the fridge overnight?

This was truly yummy.  Thank you so much for the recipe. I substituted chopped vegan chicken strips and everyone in the family loved the meal! The dressing was great!

Unbelievably great!   Used more ginger in the dressing and added red pepper to the salad.  I will for sure make it again
