Oriental Chicken Salad

Found this in my Betty Crocker cookbook and it has become a favorite in my family as a main dish. Quick to put together, and most of the ingredients are always on hand. I've also substituted turkey for the chicken with no noticeable difference. The original recipe calls for 1/2 head of iceberg lettuce, I prefer the romaine.

INGREDIENTS

Serves 4 to 6

• 1 bunch romaine lettuce, chopped
• 3 cups cooked chicken, cut up
• 1 medium carrot, peeled and shredded
• 3 tablespoons green onions, sliced thin
• 1 tablespoon raw sesame seeds (roasted are fine if that's what is available)
• 1⁄3 cup vegetable oil
• 1⁄4 cup white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground ginger
• chow mien noodles, 1 can or bag as you desire

DIRECTIONS

1. Combine first five ingredients in a large bowl.
2. Shake the rest of ingredients except chow mien noodles together.
3. Pour dressing over salad.
4. Serve with chow mien noodles.
