I didn't like this the first few times I tried it but now I love it! It's got a tangy taste and goes well with Chinese food or sandwiches. Leftovers are softer but great as a snack the next day.

⅓ cup salad oil
3 tablespoons Safeway SELECT Verdi Seasoned Rice Vinegar
2 tablespoons Asian (toasted) sesame oil
2 tablespoons Safeway SELECT Gourmet Club Soy Sauce

Transfer chicken to a cutting board; cut into 1/2-inch-wide slices.
  • Line 4 serving plates equally with spinach. Divide noodles and chicken among plates, arranging separately. Moisten with remaining dressing and sprinkle with onions.

Some good choices include carrots, celery, cucumbers, bell peppers, and snow peas. 4. **Make the dressing ahead of time:** This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop. You can make the dressing up to 2 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator. 5. **Toss the salad just before serving:** This will prevent the noodles from becoming soggy.

Barbara's Chinese Noodle Salad is a light, refreshing, and flavorful salad that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
