Chinese Chicken Salad (adapted from here)
For the salad dressing:
⅓ cup canola oil
⅓ cup rice vinegar
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons Sriracha
½ teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon honey
3 cloves garlic
juice of one lime
½ teaspoon salt
Throw it all into a blender and pulse until combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
For the salad:
1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
1 (16 ounce) bag shredded coleslaw mix
1 cup cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
4 scallions, thinly sliced
egg roll or wonton wrappers cut into strips to make crispy wontons
To make the crispy wontons, heat 2 inches of canola oil over medium high heat in a medium saucepan. Add a handful of wonton strips at a time to the hot oil and remove with a slotted spoon as soon as they brown (about 20 seconds). Cool on paper towels.
Place the chicken in a bowl with the cabbage, cilantro, red onion, and scallions. Pour in 1/2 cup of the dressing, toss to coat, and add more dressing if necessary. Top with the crispy wontons.
