  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 4 tablespoons rice vinegar

  • Dash of pepper
Instructions
  1. PREPARE SALAD DRESSING: Combine all ingredients for the salad dressing in a secure jar with lid. Shake the ingredients together until well-incorporated. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. PREPARE WONTON STRIPS: Take 4 -5 sheets of wonton skins at a time and slice. Fry about 10 to 15 wonton strips in canola oil about 1½ minutes until light brown. Turn them over as they cook. Drain them on paper towels. I store fried wonton strips in the fridge or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  3. PREPARE GREENS: Wash and rough chop lettuce and run through a salad spinner, chop green onions, and cilantro.
  4. Shred rotisserie chicken, set aside.
