I don't know if I've shared a recipe since the 8-week Experiment, and I think part of that is that the 8-week Experiment kind of drained me from wanting to share recipes, even though I have tried some great new recipes since then. Well, tonight I made a new, good, summer pasta salad. I took this recipe, and this recipe and made my own!
Asian-style Chicken Salad
1-16 oz package pasta (I used trio Italiano because that's what I had)
3 spears celery, biased cut
3 green onions
shredded chicken (about 1 lb, I think . . . we had some already shredded in the freezer)
fresh parsley (I actually think that I will leave this out next time, but it was a good way to use some of the parsley in our garden)
wonton strips (I used the precooked ones from the grocery store--they were in the produce aisle next to the salads)
lettuce (I used about half a head of iceberg since I had it in the fridge anyway)
Asian salad dressing (I used Kraft Asian Sesame Seed Dressing and Marinade)
Put everything except wonton strips and lettuce together at least 2 hours before dinner to let the flavors blend. When you are ready to serve, put in lettuce and wontons. You might also want to put on more dressing.
This looks delicious! I have had a similiar salad that also had dried cranberries in it. Yum!
