Chinese Chicken Salad

(The original recipe for this was found on the NutmegNotebook, and tweaked by me.)

I honestly have been eating this salad at least 3 times a week for the last 8 weeks, and haven't gotten tired of it yet! 

If you save this as a meal in eTools you only have to track one item.

Chinese Chicken Salad For One

• 3 ounces cooked, diced chicken breast - 3 p+
• 1/3 of a small bag of coleslaw mix (I make 3 at a time and just eyeball it) - 0 p+
• 1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds - 0 p+
• 1 tablespoon sliced green onions - 0 p+
• 2 Tablespoons toasted, slivered almonds - 2 p+
• 2 Tablespoons *Litehouse Mild Thai Peanut Dressing -1 p+
• 1/3 cup Dole Mandarin Oranges No Sugar Added - 0 p+

Mix all together and enjoy!

Points Plus: 6

Dee's notes:

• *I can only find this at Ralph's. It's about $4.29. The original version of this recipe called for Trader Joe's Spicy Peanut Dressing. My TJ's never had it, but once I found the Litehouse brand I stopped looking. The TJ's dressing is 2 p+/2T and Litehouse is 1 p+/2T.

• So far, I can only find the Dole No Sugar Added Mandarin Oranges at Stater Bros.

• Feel free to substitute red onion for the green onions. I think I usually use a lot more than the tablespoon called for.

• I have also added bean sprouts - 0 p+.

• Vary the amounts of everything to suit your taste! Most of the time now I don't even use the almonds, so I subtract those from the point total.

•  Add/substitute Chow Mein Noodles for the almonds, if you have the points. They are 4 p+/for 1/2 cup (La Choy brand). Calculate the serving size you want for the brand you have.
