How to Make Applebee S Oriental Chicken Salad
- **Make the Dressing:** Combine all dressing ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Taste and adjust sweetness or tanginess as needed. Double the recipe if desired.
- **Prepare the Chicken:** If using raw chicken, cook until fully cooked and then shred or dice.
- **Prep the Vegetables:** Use kitchen shears to quickly and easily cut the lettuce and cabbage into thin, short strips. This creates a more delicate texture.
- **Assemble the Salad:** In a large bowl, combine the shredded lettuce and cabbage.
- **Add Toppings:** Add the shredded chicken, green onions, and chow mein noodles to the salad.
- **Dress and Serve:** Drizzle the dressing generously over the salad and toss gently to combine.
- **Optional Wrap Option:** For wraps, warm the tortillas slightly. Add a portion of the salad mixture to each tortilla and wrap tightly. Serve immediately.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
