Recipe type: Salad
Cuisine: Oriental/Asian
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
Salad:
  • 2½ cups Napa Cabbage, rinsed, drained, shredded
  • 1½ cups iceberg lettuce, shredded
  • 1 cup celery diced on diagonal
  • 2 cups cooked chicken
  • 3 green onions diced on diagonal (greens and whites)
  • 1 cup fresh bean sprouts
  • ½ cup matchstick carrots
  • 1 cup sugar snap pea pods cut in half lengthwise
  • Fried tortilla strips
  • Cashew halves
  • Pepper and optional black sesame seeds
Dressing:
  • ½ cup Mayonnaise - Olive oil based - less fat
  • 4 Tbsp honey
  • 2 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2-3 drops sesame oil (careful-strong)
  • Juice of one whole (small) lemon, about 3-4 Tbsp
Instructions
  1. Combine the cabbage and lettuce and toss into a large salad bowl or serving platter.
  2. Top with remaining salad ingredients in order listed, layering over cabbage.
  3. Combine dressing ingredients with a wire whisk until smooth and creamy...the whisk will break up the mayonnaise creating a creamy texture. Add a little water or orange juice if you like it thinner.
  4. Toss the dressing into salad, lightly fluffing the ingredients to coat starting with ½ the dressing and adding as needed. You can also serve with the dressing on the side for individual serving.
