Today, we’re diving into the world of Wonton Salad—a dish that harmoniously blends textures, flavors, and colors to create a truly unforgettable dining experience. Wonton Salad is a delightful fusion dish that beautifully marries the crunchy goodness of fried wonton strips with a fresh bed of lettuce, all tossed together in a flavorful dressing.
Ingredients
For the Salad:
- 1 package of fried wontons salad toppers
- 1-2 heads lettuce
- 2 cups cooked chicken
- optional – green onions and water chestnuts
For the Dressing:
- 3 tablespoons vinegar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
How To Make Delightful Wonton Salad
Step 1: Make the Dressing – In a small bowl, mason jar or liquid measuring cup, whisk together vinegar, sugar, salt, vegetable oil, and soy sauce until well combined. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour.
Step 2: Assemble the Salad – Shred lettuce into bit size pieces and place in a bowl. Top with cooked chicken, wonton strips, drizzle with dressing and add the optional water chestnuts and green onions.
- When preparing chicken I like to cook it with salt and pepper and then freeze it ahead of time. When I am ready to make this salad I will defrost the chicken and drizzle a little soy sauce over the chicken and warm it slightly. You could also do the same with any precooked and frozen grilled chicken.
Step 3: Toss and Serve – Gently toss everything together until the salad is evenly coated with the dressing. Divide the salad into individual serving bowls or plates.
Simple Does It!
Whether enjoyed as a light lunch, a refreshing side dish, or a standalone meal, this fusion creation offers a unique and delicious experience that celebrates the best of both worlds. So, gather your ingredients, and prepare to savor every delightful bite of this extraordinary salad sensation!
