Good thing I had these food memories embedded in my taste buds so I could replicate. Since I don’t live in the same states as the restaurants where I used to pick them up for lunch anymore, I’ve created a tasty homage to two of my favorite Chinese chicken salad spots, and man, they are on point.
I based this salad on two of my Los Angeles quick eats faves: Feast from the East where they use it to dress crunchy romaine topped with their lightly fried and highly addictive wonton strips, but I added rotini pasta noodles ala the Chinese chicken salad from California Chicken Cafe. With meal prepped cooked chicken breast and pasta noodles (if I want) in the fridge, and a bunch of chopped romaine at the ready, all I have to do is toss it all in a bowl and I’m ready to eat. I 100% crave this Chinese salad, and lately, it’s been on my lunch train repeat. And as summer’s flowy skirts and loose-fitting shift dresses morph into fall’s jeans and thigh hugging pants, it seems lighter food is part of my weekly anthem.Īnd that’s where my all-time favorite-and healthier-Chinese chicken salad comes in. Lighter fare that totally satisfies is what I’m craving now. It’s made with crunchy romaine, wontons, and an almond crunch, and is topped with protein-packed chicken breast, pasta noodles, and a flavor-flav sesame dressing. This Chinese Chicken Salad takes the lighter road than the heavier versions I always see at those popular food chains that everyone loves.
