Salad audition

Today I made this Asian Chicken Salad for lunch. I had planned on making it for dinner but couldn't wait. It was OK. I have tried other recipes that I like better. Every once in a while my Mom brings me one from a local restaurant where they put Cilantro in the salad, that makes it really good. (I fried my own Wonton noodles for the first time for this recipe. They turned out pretty good. I did make the mistake of putting too many in the pan at once though.) While visiting the site today, I discovered that P-DUB now has her recipes indexed. This is very exciting because I've found lots of recipes of hers that I love, and I refer to them often. The index page is found here.

Make sure to check out her post with the entries for the Dairy Contest, I've found some really good recipes there too. Here are a couple of my favorites. (I'm pretty sure this is where I got these recipes, but I'm not going back through them all to double check.)
