Spring is here and slowly, but surely temperatures are starting to rise. This delicious oriental chicken salad is the perfect recipe to keep in your cooking arsenal for warmer days. Packed with a variety of veggies, not only is this salad colorful but it’s also full of texture. And don’t forget the wontons and sliced almonds!

The oriental chicken salad recipe has you make your own wonton strips. However, if you need to save a little bit of time, you can typically find pre-made wontons at your local grocery store. Chow mein noodles will also work in a pinch. The same goes for the salad dressing. Easily make your own with our recipe or purchase your favorite pre-made Asian salad dressing.

To put the oriental chicken salad together, start by cooking your chicken and chopping it into cubes or strips. Next, chop up your veggies and slice your almonds if you didn’t purchase them pre-sliced. Then you’ll want to fry your wonton strips and let them cool. Finally, mixup your dressing and pour it over the salad ingredients tossing everything together. Now you’re ready to serve this refreshing salad for lunch or dinner!
