We swap recipes back and forth frequently, but this one came from Kendra. I make it more than anything else and it the most requested recipe I have on file. I have test driven several Asian Chicken Salad recipes and this one stands alone in a class by itself. Toasting the almonds does make a distinct difference. If I serve this with BBQ or Orange Chicken, we simply leave out the chicken. If served as the main course, leave the chicken in and serve with fruit and crossiant rolls.

it is great.
