I've mentioned it before, but I live in a small-town. The small-town is predominately compromised of those from the Hispanic culture. Therefore pretty much all of the restaurants around here are Hispanic restaurants. There is one little gem among the tacos and burritos called Bon Vinos Bistro. I have had phenomenal breakfast, sandwiches, desserts, and this salad (or at least my interpretation of it :) I loved this salad when I first tasted it and knew I needed to recreate it.
The description from their menu says..."Grilled chicken, romaine lettuce, coleslaw mix, toasted almonds, Linguini noodle, sweet & sour dressing, topped with green onions." Simple enough, right?! I found a ginger sesame dressing that was delicious on this salad. I actually got it at Walmart in the produce section, it is the Marketside brand. I had some yummy homemade fettucine noodles from my hubby's grandma, and they were perfect for this!
Oriental Chicken Salad
Coleslaw Mix
Romaine lettuce, chopped
Sliced almonds
Chicken Breasts
Fettucine or Linguine noodles, cooked al dente
Sliced green onions
Sesame Ginger Dressing
I marinated the chicken in some of the dressing for 3-4 hours then grilled it and sliced it. Mix the coleslaw mix with the romaine lettuce and pile on each plate. Mix the cooled noodles with more dressing and chill. Pile noodles on lettuce, place chicken on top and sprinkle with almonds and green onions. Drizzle with more dressing if desired.
