Chinese Chicken Salad With Peanut Butter Dressing image

I have lived in Michigan now for 13 years and not one Chinese Restaurant has Chinese Chicken Salad like they do back home in San Fran, Cali.... :(. So, this is as close as I can come to the real thing... I am not sure where I found this recipe.
