Wonton Salad, with Faux Chicken Patties

At a Glance
  • Feeds 4 hungry people
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Time: 20-25 minutes
Salad Ingredients
  • 1 head shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 2 stalks of chopped green onions
  • 4 faux chicken patties
  • ½ pkg. of wontons (just pick-up a bag of already cooked wontons from a Chinese Restaurant)
  • ¼ cup toasted slivered almonds
Dressing Ingredients
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil or olive oil
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup white vinegar
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. pepper
  • 1 tsp. Accent seasoning
Method
  • In frying pan, add all dressing ingredients.
  • Heat on low-medium until all sugar is melted. When dressing is proper consistency, remove from heat. It should be room temperature when you add it to the top of the salad. Put in fridge to speed up process if you want. While it is cooling, you can do the rest of the recipe, which should time it just about right.
  • Put chicken patties in oven (preferred) or microwave to cook according to directions on package. It's best for these to be crispy for this salad, which is why the oven method is preferred.
  • In big mixing bowl, add lettuce, onion and almonds. Mix well.
  • Break up the wontons into manageable, bite size pieces, then add wontons to mixing bowl too. Mix well again.
  • When chicken patties are cooked, cut them into long strips.
  • If you're serving the whole recipe, add the dressing to the mixing bowl, and mix well. If just making a small batch now, add salad to plate, drizzle dressing on top.
  • Add chicken strips to top of salad.
  • Eat!
