The last two days have been a whirlwind! I got James' birthday all accomplished before traveling, packed our little family of four, got our neighbors prepped to take care of our chickens, made dinner for our friends who had their baby, and prepared my entire home for some dear friends to live in while we're gone. Wheew, it was a lot of work. But all of it was special and exciting! I love celebrations and it was a JOY to celebrate my mister James! For his birthday pre-dinner (since his birthdays not till Sunday but we won't be home) I made a Wonton Salad and it was SO good. James LOVES Asian food and loves salad so it really was the perfect dish! It's my amazing mothers recipe and it truly is a rock awesome salad!!!! I am grateful for good salads!! They make my tummy so very happy!!
Wonton Salad
The Recipe (I'm remembering it off the top of my head cause we're not home!):
Ingredients:
1 head of Romaine lettuce
1 head of Iceburg lettuce
3 cups shredded chicken
1 can water chestnuts
3 diced green onions
Wontons to sprinkle on salad when it's served up (cut into him strips and either fry them up, or our favorite way is to bake them on a cookie sheet. Less time, cleaner and healthy! Just keep an eye on them cause hey cook fast!)
Dressing (mix all together, and toss on whole salad when ready to eat it)
1/4 cup oil
3 Tb sugar
3 tsp ricevinegar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp Lowrys seasoning salt
YUM!!
