Description

Chicken, lettuce and green onions are just the beginning of this Asian-style salad with crunchy almonds and chow mein noodles. I got this recipe from a very dear friend who got it from a co-worker. We tried it and people just go crazy. It's especially great for parties and family get-togethers.

Ingredients

1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon salt-free herb and spice blend
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 heads iceberg lettuce, torn into bite-sized pieces
1 pound chopped cooked chicken breast meat
1 (5 ounce) can chow mein noodles
1 (2 1/4 ounce) package blanched slivered almonds
1/4 cup sesame seeds, lightly toasted
4 green onions, chopped
2 teaspoons poppy seeds

Directions

1 In small bowl, whisk together the oil, sugar, vinegar, salt, seasoning blend, and pepper. Set aside.
2 In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, chicken, chow mein noodles, almonds, sesame seeds, green onions, and poppy seeds. Toss to blend. Pour salad dressing over the salad just before serving.
