Ingredients
2heads romaine lettuce
3chicken breastscooked and cubed or shredded
grape or cherry tomatoes
1red onionthinly sliced
1cucumberpeeled and chopped
½package wonton wrappers
vegetable oil for frying
optional: cashews
Instructions
For the wonton strips:
Heat about 1 inch of oil in a pot on the stove top to 375˚F. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the wonton wrappers into thirds (3 strips). Test the oil by dipping in a wonton strip. If it bubbles quickly, it is ready. Fry the wontons a few at a time, only a few seconds each, and drain on paper towels. They can be made ahead of time and kept in an air tight container.
To assemble the salad:
Tear clean lettuce into chunks and place in a large salad bowl. Top with tomatoes, cucumber and onion. Add the chicken, then toss with Sweet Sesame Dressing. Once salad is combined, add wonton strips and gently toss to combine.
