Quick and Easy Asian Salad
A quick delicious and satisfying salad
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 bag of cole slaw mix
- 1 bag chopped romaine lettuce or 1 head of romaine lettuce chopped
- 1/4 cup of slivered almonds
- 3 tbsp of toasted sesame seeds I buy these in a container already toasted and ready to eat
- 1 package of crunchy wonton noodles.
- Ingredients for dressing:
- 1 cup of mayonnaise or substitute lowfat yogurt
- 1/4 cup of soy sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp of toasted sesame oil optional
- 1/4 tsp of powdered ginger or freshly grated ginger optional
- Water to thin out if necessary
Instructions
- On a large platter, empty your cole slaw bag and mixed lettuce bag on to the platter, tossing it all together until evenly mixed. Now add your crunchy wontons.
- Sprinkle your sesame seeds over top.
- Next, place your slivered almonds in a small pan over medium heat for 5 minutes tossing occasionally to get them lightly toasted. Remove from heat let cool.
- For the dressing, in a medium bowl, mix together your Mayonnaise (or low fat plain yogurt), olive oil, soy sauce and toasted sesame oil (if using this). If the dressing seems to thick, add 1 tbsp of water at a time until it reaches a desired consistency.
- Next, take your cooled almonds and add that to your salad. Drizzle your salad with a little bit (or a lot) of your dressing.
- Serve the salad with the extra chow mein noodles and remaining dressing on the side.
