Awesome Asian-Inspired Salad

For the dressing, you'll need:

Good Seasons Italian Dressing Packet
Sesame Oil (a flavorful one, like Kadoya)
Unseasoned Rice Vinegar
Soy Sauce

Make Dressing according to package instructions, add soy sauce to taste. I like a lot, but some of you might not enjoy the sodium.

For the salad, you'll need:
More Sesame Oil
McCormick Perfect Pinch Roasted Garlic and Red Pepper
Roasted Sesame Seeds
Sea Salt
Chicken (whatever cut you prefer, about 10 oz.)
Baby Spinach, Spring Mix or whatever greens you like best.
8 oz. can Sliced Water Chestnuts
15 oz. can Mandarin Oranges in Light Syrup
Crispy noodles.

Grill the Chicken in Sesame Oil. I usually cut it into small pieces before cooking to get more seasoning onto it. Season with Sea Salt and Perfect Pinch to taste. Throw in a generous amount of Sesame Seeds. When the Chicken is almost fully cooked, add the Water Chestnuts to warm them up and coat them with seasonings.

Serve the Chicken and Water Chestnuts over the greens and top with mandarin oranges and crispy noodles. Drizzle with your Sesame Vinagrette and Enjoy.

Greens in the bowl first
