The Salad that Saved my Blog
A fresh, crunchy, Asian-y, chicken salad that's toddler approved, generates almost no dishes and can be on your dinner table in right around 30 minutes.
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 2 adults + a hungry toddler
Ingredients
- 1 small head romaine, chopped into 1 inch pieces
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- cooked Asian noodles I like Cantonese style, but live in Austin so can get whatever I want. Ramen noodles (cooked without the seasoning packet) would work, so would linguine
- edamame
- thinly sliced carrots, cucumbers, radishes
- minced fresh basil, cilantro, green onions
- roasted salted cashews
- clementine orange segments (not pictured, but oh so tasty)
- fried wonton strips
- avocado, diced
- your favorite Asian dressing I used a sesame orange dressing - it was perfect
Instructions

Combine all the ingredients except dressing and noddles in a big bowl. Drizzle with dressing and toss to combine. Toss the noodles with some more dressing and serve in nests on top of the rest of the salad. Promptly remove all lettuce from toddler's plate before serving, of course :)
