A simple flavorful Summer Salad
I had Chinois Chicken Salad at Wolfgang Puck Bistro. That's the restaurant of choice when friendsand I g to Universal City Walk.
The taste I have experienced is something I crave from time to time.
It was a delicious combination of flavors and ingredients.
In my recipe, I had to edit some ingredients,
because my daughter is allergic to nuts, and my children simply does not like mustard.
Since I like my napa cabbage cook, I had to substitute that one too.
I always say my children are picky eaters, geez I wonder where they got that from? :)
Ingredients:
For the Salad:
2 grilled/roasted chicken breast
6 oz. of Spring Mix Salad
1 tbsp fresh dill
2 cans Mandarin oranges
2 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted (optional)
4-6 wonton wrappers, juliened and fried until golden brown
or
2 oz LaChoy Rice Noodles
For the Dressing:
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp sesame oil
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1 tsp miso paste
1 garlic clove, grated
1 tsp ginger, grated
1 tsp soy sauce
1 1/2 tbsp honey
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Directions:
- In a blender, place all ingredients except for olive oil.
- Blend until smooth.
- Add olive oil slowly until blended.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Note:
- Taste, and adjust seasonings.
- You can replace spring mix, with 1 cup romaine or iceberg, with 1 medium head napa cabbage, add 1 cup of radicchio, and 1/2 cup juliened carrots.
- If you can't find wonton wrappers, you can fry rice noodles
- I didn't want to bother frying in this hot weather, so I bought the already made La Choy Rice Noodles.
Wow that salad looks awesome, great picture!!! I love the crunch of the wontons and rice noodles with the mandarin oranges. Can't wait to try this

Wolfgang's salad is one of my favorite! I always try and grab one when I go in to Gelson's market. Can't wait to try your version! I'm your newest follower! thanks for the great inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI miss Gelson's! Especially Wolfgang's Caesar Salad Dressing. I may just have to ask my husband to pick me up a bottle or 2 when he goes back for a business trip.
DeleteAnd have you tried their tomato soup at Gelson's. Best Ever!!!
