How to Make Applebee's Oriental Chicken Salad

  1. **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.
  2. **Prepare the Chicken:** If using raw chicken, cook until fully cooked and then shred or dice.
  3. **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.
  4. **Assemble the Salad:** In a large bowl, combine the shredded lettuce and cabbage.
  5. **Add Toppings:** Add the shredded chicken, green onions, and chow mein noodles to the salad.
  6. **Dress and Serve:** Drizzle the dressing generously over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  7. **Optional Wrap Option:** For wraps, warm the tortillas slightly. Add a portion of the salad mixture to each tortilla and wrap tightly. Serve immediately.
