This was a really good salad, but the dressing came out a little too sweet. I would probably decrease the brown sugar a little bit. In addition, I used leftover teriyaki chicken, which I think gave it more of an asian salad taste than regular grilled chicken would have. But, my husband is a salad lover, and he enjoyed this one.

This was really nice, the dressing complemented the chicken really well even though it was a little sweeter than I'd usually like.

This was delicious! I used bagged spring mix, instead of the iceberg lettuce. Also, I added mandarin oranges and chow mein noodles, based on other reviews. With a rotisserie chicken, this meal couldn't be easier and more tasty!

Really yummy! I just used chicken breasts (marinated in teriyaki sauce for about 20 minutes). I also added mandarin oranges. I substituted chow mein noodles for the rice noodles. The dressing was fantastic!! Definitely leaving this one in my recipe box!

Very good, I will make this again. It was a perfect side dish to the Awesome Korean Steak recipe. The only change I made, was I added boiled rice noodles as well as fried ones.

This was easy, but I didn't really like all the iceberg lettuce. A whole head makes a lot of salad, too, and needed to have double the dressing that the recipe called for. I used a can of chow mein noodles instead of messing with the dried rice noodles. I also added 2 small cans of mandarin oranges.

I loved the salad dressing. The salad itself seemed to need a few more ingredients. Over all I liked it.

This was a nice variation of the classic chinese chicken salad made with cabbage. I used chow mein noodles one time, and ramen noodles the next. My kids really liked it, and I am making it for the 3rd time.

OH MY GOODNESS!! This is one of the most delicious recipes I have ever made. I love chinese chicken salads, and this is just excellent. I made a couple of changes, I added 1 tsp. of ground ginger to the dressing, I think this adds a special sweetness. Also, I broiled my chicken for about 6 minutes after I let it sit in a yoshida's and hoisen sauce marinade for about 15 minutes. I also just used a bag of mixed cabbage that you use for cole slaw. It was delicious and oh-so healthy!! Thanks for the recipe!!

A M A Z I N G althought the first time i made it, the rice noodles were very messy and everywhere - i guess it might be because i've never made them before. but, it was still very good! the next times, we just used chow mein noodles that came out of a can and it was even better! im only fifteen, and using the different noodles it was very simple to make. one of our familys favorites now =]

I followed the suggestions by PPK and used chow mein noodles, added mandarin oranges and toasted almonds. This salad was great and both my husband and I loved it. Thanks Jill for the recipe and PPK for the suggestions!

I love asian food but my husband doesn't. He does love salad so I gave this a try. Glad I did because my husband loved this salad and kept going back for more. The only reason I am not giving this 5 stars is because the rice vermacelli (cellaphane) didn't work at all so I had to omit them. Next time I will just sprinkle the salad with already fried rice noodles like in the picture. It's a keeper!

This is a fabulous recipe. I did add toasted cashews and the sesame oil should not be optional, the unique flavor makes the dish!

I loved this recipe! Served it to two ladies groups and got rave reviews. I did take the reviewers suggestion who said to add baked cashews and sesame seeds. I also added dried Ramen noodles instead of the dried Rice noodles. Also prepare the dressing the night before and refrigerate it. It made a difference in the flavor. . fantastic.

If done per recipe, this would be a 2/3, but with changes we gave it a 4. This is not a "quick" recipe, as given, because you do this in over time. If you don't have leftover chicken it is more time consuming. Using suggestions, we added the mandarin oranges, almonds & chow mein noodles. Next time I won't bother with the rice noddles. This is a good & summer salad.

My husband and I loved this salad. I did not have left-over chicken, so I doubled the dressing and used that to marinate chicken tenderloins, about 30 minutes or so, and then quickly stir-fried them in a bit of canola oil. Like another reviewer, I also added shredded carrots and chopped red pepper to the salad mix. I also used Romaine lettuce and Napa cabbage in place of iceberg lettuce. Although we really enjoyed the crispness of the rice noodles, I hate to admit that they were too much trouble for me -- I found preparing them to be a bit messy. So next time I will use some other type of noodle, unless I can find rice noodles which are already prepared. Thanks for sharing your recipe, Jill.

This is very good! I used left over fried chicken breasts to make it just a little more delicious. My fiance wasn't sure he was going to like it, he wanted to go to a chinese buffet instead. I told him that I would make it and if he didn't like it he didn't have to eat it and we could go out. Well he loved it. He said it was much better than if we had went out, and he was happy about it being inexpensive. He even liked the dressing and usually he wont eat any dressing on his salads. It's one of our favorite salads now.
