A year or two ago a second cousin sent my dad a photocopy of a recipe of my Granny Marge’s chinese chicken salad recipe, written in her own hand. Apparently she made it all the time, although I had no recollection of it. It was neat to see her handwriting again and to try her recipe, which I find to be the perfect tasty, light main-course salad for summer. (Consequently Gavin and I have this regularly!)
Granny Marge’s Chinese Chicken Salad
___A____(mix, shake, set aside)
1/4 c. oil
3 TBS vinegar (I use seasoned rice vinegar)
2 TBS Sugar
1/2 tsp Pepper (seems too much, isn’t)
___B___
1/2 lb chicken (cooked, shredded) (usually I cook 1-2 boneless, skinless breasts & shred)
1 sm head lettuce, cut very fine
2-6 TBS toasted almonds
1/2 cup chopped green onions
2-4 TBS sesame seeds, toasted (careful, they burn fast!)
1- 5oz can chow mein noodles
1 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp salt (or soy sauce, if you insist)
(sometimes I also add thinly sliced red bell pepper and/or shredded carrots)
Combine B – Add A – Mix – ENJOY!
