Applebee's Oriental Chicken Salad

Cadylynn's Note:

A Mock of Applebee's Restaurant's most popular dish! And being an Applebee's employee, I would have to say this recipe is pretty dang close!

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 5

Yield: 1.0 cup

Dressing

• 3 tablespoons honey
• ½ tablespoon vinegar
• ¼ cup mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Salad

• 3 cups romaine lettuce
• 1 cup red cabbage
• 1 cup napa cabbage
• 2 green onions , chopped finely
• 1⁄3; cup chow mein noodles
• 1 cup cooked chicken (you can use store-bought chicken fingers or bread and fry your own using corn flakes)

Directions:

1. Dressing: Add all ingredients in a blender and puree for about 30 seconds. I usually make a double recipe and add a little extra honey!
2. Salad: This salad is made easiest with a pair of kitchen scissors. Cut lettuce and cabbage into very thin, short strips. Top with green onions, chow mein noodles and Chicken.
3. Idea: You can also turn this salad into amazing wraps! I like to use grilled tortillas. Enjoy!

I have not eaten Applebee's salad so I'm not comparing it to theirs. I made this because I found it interesting that it used breaded chicken strips. I made it exactly as stated. I liked the combination of salad ingredients. However, I found the dressing to be heavier than I like for an Oriental chicken salad; guess I'll pare it down somehow next time. Thanks for posting, Cadylynn.

The recipe is wonderful. I used canned chicken for a quick meal and it was mouth watering good.

We just love this recipe. It is the very best I have tried. I tried one other one and thought that was the best until I tried this one. It is second only to the original Applebee's dressing.
