Salads

Asian Chicken Salad

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.
