This was just OK. My husband and I didn't care for it that much. We thought the dressing did not taste as good as it smelled. We did eat it but wouldn't make it again. Also, the wonton strips did not take 20 minutes for me to bake - they burned after 10 minutes in my oven and I had to make them a second time.

This is exactly like Houston's salad, which I love, only it is missing one piece, and i think that is what is frustrating some of the reviewers. At Houston's, the peanut sauce is drizzled over the salad (or put on the side if requested). The main dressing is a LIME VINAIGRETTE. you can make a simple lime vinaigrette if you like, or Paul Newman's line makes a light lime vinaigrette that is great - i like very few dressings out of the bottle, and this is one of them. So if you make the salad, toss it in the lime vinaigrette, and then drizzle the peanut sauce after you put the tortilla strips, then you have a Houston's chicken salad. YUM!

I always try to compile the best suggestions when I try something-added red pepper, toasted sliced almonds and decreased the peanut butter just a little. Took it to the work potluck at the hospital-nurses are your best critics! (So little time....so we love quality!) It seemed about 50% loved it. Not as many compliments as usual. Dressing was spicier than I expected. The more I ate-the more I liked it. The best wontons are cut into 4 strips and fried a couple at a time in peanut oil. Time consuming, but worth it.

The dressing is great and tastes restaurant-quality! It goes well with Asian noodle salads, too.

Wow this recipe was delicious. My family thought it was great as well. Like others next time I would only put 2 tablespoons of peanut butter in and increase the hoisin sauce by 1 tablespoon. This is a keeper for us. Thanks Teri

Super yummy!!! Next time I'm going to add some fresh red pepper for color and crisp. The dressing makes a great satay sauce as well.

I made some changes that made this a 4 star recipe, but it's only 3 as-is. The dressing was entirely too thick and heavy. I added about 1/4 cup of the juice from a can of mandarin oranges. I still didn't like the salad all that much, but when I added the oranges to the salad, that made all the difference. Probably won't be making this again.
