Chinese Chicken Salad . . . Full of flavor and texture, this salad makes a healthy and delicious meal!!

Holey moley! The last few weeks have been insane at my house. So busy that I have not had much time for cooking, let alone blogging about cooking. My crafting blog has been even more neglected, and all of the projects I have planned are piling up everywhere. I feel like I have lost my mind. It’s probably buried under a pile of dirty laundry somewhere. My boys have spring break the end of this week and we are going camping with a group of friends. I’m looking forward to the camping part, but I am not looking forward to cleaning out the trailer in preparation. Or loading it. Why does it have to be so much work to go on vacation?!?

Lucky for you, even though I haven’t been cooking lately, I have a whole bunch of recipes saved up that I made back when my life was a little less hectic. Some of them are sinful, decadent, and pure evil if you are trying to shed a few pounds. I’ll do those later. But for today, I am sharing a really healthy recipe. I figure that you’ve probably eaten enough Reese’s eggs, chocolate bunnies, jelly beans, Peeps, chocolate eggs, and other Easter goodies that the thought of more treats makes you want to hurl. (At least till tomorrow.) 😉

This Chinese Chicken Salad recipe has been a favorite at our house for several years. I’ve tasted several variations of it and I love them all. The thing I like about this one is that it doesn’t call for any unusual ingredients, and the dressing is much lower in fat than most. It has plenty of flavor, but it doesn’t have a greasy texture. And I’m not much into oily salad, so I find that a bonus. My kids even like this salad. I’m pretty sure it has something to do with the ramen noodles. Every time I make this I think “Man, I should really make this more often.” It is a perfect summer meal, especially served with homemade rolls.
