    CarrolJ's Note:

    Some of you may wonder why we need another Chinese Chicken Salad recipe here at Recipezaar. This is a recipe that my DH's cousins made at a family reunion years ago. I keep losing it so decided to post it here since it is unlike the other recipes posted here. Don't leave out using the frozen vegetables. It's amazing how much added flavor and crunch they give to the salad. There is no other recipe posted like it.

      I made this for our lunch today. Yummy! Such a great combination of flavors and textures. I especially love the crunch of the browned ramen noodles, slivered almonds and toasted sesame seeds. I ate some of the salad as is and then also put some in a wrap for a sandwich. I thought it was great that way too! The only ingredient I was unsure about was what to do with the packet of seasoning from the ramen noodles. I ended up including it in the dressing, but next time I think I'll leave it out. This makes A LOT and would be perfect to bring to a party/potluck. ~Made for ZWT6 Zee Zany Zesty Cookz~
