Good recipe from the Cheesecake Factory website. Prep time of 20 minutes however is so totally misleading. Maybe 20 minutes to stack the salad but by the time you have washed and sliced all the veggies, fried the egg roll wrappers, grilled the chicken, chopped and toasted macadamia nuts etc etc. it is much much much longer.
