Oriental Chicken Salad ****
Dinner by itself; prepared by Emily Wiggins
Approximate cost for 1: $3
Recipe: http://www.food.com/recipe/applebees-oriental-chicken-salad-19253
I wanted an oriental chicken salad (like at Applebee's). I initially looked at my Betty Crocker cookbook, only to find it wasn't at all like I wanted. Thank goodness for google - and for talented cooks out there who can recreate salads from tasting them. The website above has a recipe for the salad from Applebee's. I pretty much followed the recipe, although I scaled it down quite a bit, and approximated a lot of my quantities. I also did not have red cabbage.
The result? Tastiness. Ah. It was good. Hence, the four stars. And salad-a-day is born - off to a good start. If every salad is this good, I'll be a happy little girl.
Suggested modifications: although it made a really yummy crispy chicken, it was awfully time consuming and messy. Just searing your chicken would still be a pretty good salad, as well.
