DELICIOUS ASIAN CHICKEN SALAD WITH CHOW MEIN NOODLES



Delicious Asian Chicken Salad With Chow Mein Noodles image

A delicious and easy to make salad, I sometimes add in a tablespoon of peanut butter to the dressing, plan ahead the dressing must refrigerate for a couple of hours in advance to blend flavors, it may be doubled if desired -- the salad may be prepared in advance but do not add in the dressing or orange segments until just before serving, prep time does not include cooking the chicken, all amounts may be adjusted to taste :)
