Sometimes nothing satisfies like a fresh light crunchy salad, and I am always on the lookout for an easy no fuss variation on the usual “lettuce and tomato.” This Asian Chicken Salad is so simple and delicious, and when I tried it for a quick Sunday evening meal, my hubby’s words after eating it were “stupendous” (I think he liked it)!
I modified it a tiny bit to suit our family’s tastes, and here is what you need to make it:
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 cups cooked cubed chicken
- 16 ounce bag coleslaw
- 8 ounce bag shredded lettuce (I added this for mildness)
- 3.5 ounce bag roasted sliced almonds
- 3.5 ounce bag tortilla strips
- Bottle of Asian dressing (I used about half a bottle of Orange ginger)
Mix all together in a large bowl. Serve immediately.
Asian Chicken Salad
Serving Size 4
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked cubed chicken
- 16 ounce bag coleslaw
- 8 ounce bag shredded lettuce I added this for mildness
- 3.5 ounce bag roasted sliced almonds
- 3.5 ounce bag tortilla strips
- Bottle of Asian dressing I used about half a bottle of Orange ginger
Instructions
- Mix all together in a large bowl.
This amount served three of us with a little leftover. It was light and crunchy and sweet.
I would also like to try this with a teriyaki dressing.
Hope you enjoy!
We Are THAT Family (love that name) shared this salad on her blog.
Yum! I am going to try this. I think I will make a vinaigrette with sesame oil, rice wine vinegar and some fresh ginger to toss.
Visiting from Feasting in Fellowship – I love these kinds of salads, and your’s looks pretty easy to mix together!

This looks yummy and I will try this soon! not sure what tortilla strips are – certainly not something I could buy here in Australia, but I think I can adapt it to use fried noodles or omlette strips, which is what I thought they were until I read the recipe.
This reminds me of the chinese chicken salad my friend use to make that I couldn’t eat because it contained ramen noodles. What a great idea to use corn chips! I have a link-up party if you are interested in sharing it further. http://www.glutenfreeyummy.com/alive-thrive-thursday-8-1-13/
