Picking out food for dinner during the summer is tough. It’s hot. Hot food doesn’t sound good. And I don’t want to stand over the stove.

Salad is the obvious, refreshing option, but I get bored of salad really quickly.

My mom’s Chinese Chicken Salad recipe is my favorite way to break out from the norm with an Asian flair.

Ingredients:

• Cooked chicken chunks
• Shredded cabbage
• Chopped romaine lettuce
• Chopped green onion
• Peanuts
• 1 pack Ramen noodles
• A few peeled mandarins
• Soy Vay Toasted Sesame dressing

Instructions:

1. Grill the chicken and cut into chunks.
2. Heat up a little oil and sauce the crushed up Ramen noodles and peanuts until golden.
3. Toss some purple cabbage, romaine lettuce, green onions and mandarins on a plate. Top with chicken and peanut/noodle combo.
4. Dress with sesame dressing.
