Oriental Chicken Salad

Applebee's oriental chicken salad

Dressing:

3 Tbsp Honey
1 1/2 Tbsp rice vinegar
1/4 cup mayo
1 tsp dijon mustard
1/8 tsp sesame oil

Whisk all ingredients together until well corporated. 

Salad:
2 cups Romaine lettuce
1 cup fresh spinach
1 cup red cabbage
1 cup napa cabbage
1 carrot, grated
1 green onion

toasted almonds
chow mein noodles

Coarsly chop romaine lettuce.  Finley chop cabbages.  Grate carrot and slice green onion.  Combine all salad ingredients.  Sprinkle with toasted almonds and chow mein noodles. 

Chicken:  I used Tysons pre-grilled chicken strips.  They are quick, easy, and have good flavor.  Any grilled chicken will work, or to make it more authentic to applebees use breaded chicken strips.

Note:  This recipe and dressing are for a "large dinner salad"... when we made this for a family of 6 eating we decided to multiply the recipe by 4.  We didn't even eat 1/2 of it and we had huge portions.  Instead of mixing in the dressing we added it to our personal plates as desired.  In reality 1 salad could most likely feed 2 people. 

This recipe is so tasty and easy to make.
