Chicken Wonton Salad

I really liked this salad! I think it  would be good to make for a shower or  luncheon. I found the recipe HERE 

Chicken Wonton Salad

 

Ingredients

• 15 small square wonton wrappers
• canola oil
• 2 cups uncooked rotini pasta
• 2 heads romaine lettuce, chopped
• 2 cooked chicken breast, diced
• 6 green onion, diced
• ½ cup sliced almonds
• 2 cans mandarin oranges, drained
• sesame ginger dressing (I used Marketside Sesame Ginger Dressing from Walmart)
• seasame seeds, optional for garnish

Instructions

1. Cut wontons into ¼ inch strips. I do this with a pizza cutter.
2. In a skillet, place enough oil to completely cove the bottom and heat over medium.
3. Once oil is hot, add wonton strips in batches of about 8 strips at a time. Fry until golden brown on both sides. Place on a plate lined with a paper towel to drain.
4. Cook rotini according to package and rinse with cold water.
5. Toss lettuce with pasta and divide mixture between 6 plates.
6. Top each plate evenly with the chicken, green onion, almond slices, and oranges.
7. Drizzle each plated salad with dressing and top with wonton strips and sesame sees if desired. Makes 6 main dish salads.
