This dressing is exactly what I have been trying to create. It tastes like the dressing on the Asian salad at Panera. I like to make the salad with mixed spring greens and some snow peas. Adding crispy noodles makes it even better. Thanks so much for this dressing recipe.

Loved this! Definitely add the sesame oil. I used the store bought rice noodles - they added a nice crunch. I also added the mandrain oranges. I used romaine lettuce because I like it better. I'd like to try it with a fresh spring mix as well. I also added a little more brown sugar to the dressing, but it may not have been necessary.

I made this dish as a side for my family's Easter dinner. I doubled it, and still didn't have any leftover! I substituted 1T of olive oil for 1T of sesame oil for a bit richer flavor.

i agree with the previous reviewer in that this needs a lot of tweeking. this is a great recipe in itself, but if you like the peanut taste, add 1 large tablespoon of peanut butter to the dressing (heat for about 30 in microwave to blend better)...this makes it taste soooo better. i do add some white balsamic vinegar and olive oil to balance out the flavors. can marinate the chicken in some garlic and soy sauce. garnish with some flavored slivered almonds that you can buy in the salad section at the store. i do too use the romaine lettuce, this just adds to the flavor...this then tastes a lot like the wendy's brand of oriental chicken salad. thanks for the great recipe in print now...this is a great potluck recipe!

This salad is a dead ringer for the one served at Applebee's. I use canned rice noodles - much easier and less messy. I also add mandarin oranges and fresh strawberries, sliced. Place those around the edge of the salad for a pretty look. Sometimes I add slices of apple too. It's wonderful!!

Again, great recipe!- This time I added grated ginger and substituted splenda foe 1 tbsp of brown sugar.I added lime juice in the dressing and a can of drained mandarin oranges. I also use romaine instead of iceberg and chow mein noodles. My husband loves this salad!

This is absolutely one of my favorite salad recipes! I have made this many times and tweek this depending on what I have on hand. I usually shred one carrot, add some celery, cucumber, cilantro, bean sprouts, mandarin oranges, and fresh button mushrooms. The fried noodles found in a can are easier than frying your own... or sometimes I add some slivered almonds to add a bit of crunch. Also, instead of using iceberg, I prefer to use romaine/spinach or a spring green mix. The dressing is absolutely delicious but I usually halve the amount of oil used in the recipe to make it healthier; doesn't make a difference! I've made this both with seasoned and unseasoned rice vinegar and I prefer the seasoned one in this recipe. Definitely a keeper!

This is a fantastic recipe if you are looking for a recipe that is reminiscent of many popular restaurant recipes for asian chicken salads. The dressing is super delicious, i was a bit worried when i first mixed it. Definitely give it more than a half hour to let the flavors meld. I used Wishbone and soy sauce as a marinade and grilled the chicken. You simply must add cilantro as well. Yum! Will make this again and again!

Yummy! I altered the dressing a bit adding twice as much brown sugar and 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger which gave it a nicer Asian flavor.

The dressing was WONDERFUL! I added some chopped cilantro, sliced red bell pepper and roasted asparagus (so yummy!). I just roasted the asparagus in the oven at 350 for about 20 minutes after tossing it in olive oil and salt and pepper. It really adds a nice nutty flavor and cruch to the salad. I will be making this again and again!

This made a great salad! I don't care for rice noodles, so just cooked a side of white rice instead and added some fresh grated ginger - it was great! Toasted sesame seeds really add to the wonderful flavor of this salad.

Wonderful! Changes I made was to triple the sauce, one part to marinate the chicken & two parts for the dressing, used store bought noodles, & I added mandarin oranges, carrots & celery. Very easy & tasty!
