I picked up a rotisserie chicken at Costco, and as I was driving home remembered my mom’s Chinese Chicken Salad. She used to roast her own chicken, but then discovered the Costco rotisserie chicken and never went back. At $5 for a whole chicken, I don’t think it costs much more than it cost my mom back then, and it sure makes this Guessipe an easy win. I can’t believe I have neglected my mom’s Chinese Chicken Salad for so long.
Guessipe
- 3 lb roasted chicken, deboned and shredded
- 1 head iceberg lettuce, thinly shredded
- 1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 bunch cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted
- 2 oz Chinese bean thread noodles, fried
dressing
- 2 tsp lemon zest
- 2 TBSP lemon juice
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp mustard powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 tsp soy sauce
- 1/2 cup olive oil
Add all Dressing ingredients to a small jar, cover, and shake well. Let stand for at least 1 hour.
Combine chicken, lettuce, green onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds in a large bowl. Shake the Dressing again before pouring over the salad. Toss until well combined. Sprinkle the fried noodles over the salad to serve.
