CRUNCHY ASIAN CHICKEN SALAD
I love their crunchy, citrusy salad so much that once I made my husband drive an hour to the nearest Applebee's restaurant just so I could eat it! It was time to come up with my own version. I'm completely happy with the results-and my husband is, too! Find more of my recipes at my blog, mandysrecipeboxblog.com. -Mandy Bird, Holbrook, Idaho

CRUNCHY ASIAN SESAME SALAD
This salad is great. Light, crunchy and pleasantly nutty. After graduating from college this past May and being home looking for a job I got sick of eating the same things everyday so I threw this together for something lighter. I've included what I use below, but this salad lends itself to be pretty flexible. Would be great with sliced grilled chicken on top or shrimp might be good too, with a little squeeze of lime. One warning: this makes quite a lot of salad so unless you are feeding a crowd I wouldn't put the dressing on all of the salad at once... it won't keep (soggy lettuce, soggy crunchies, etc). A good solution would be to bag up single serving portions in ziplock baggies and then top with dressing and crunchies when ready to serve. You could even put them straight into the bag and shake to mix it up before putting on a plate.

CRUNCHY ASIAN RAMEN NOODLE SALAD (A.K.A. BASICALLY THE BEST POTLUCK SALAD EVER) RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:
- To Make The Salad: (Optional first step: Heat oven to 425 degrees. Spread the crumbled ramen noodles and sliced almonds out on a baking sheet, and stir a bit to combine. Bake for about 5 minutes, or until the almonds and noodles are slightly toasted and golden. Remove baking sheet, and give the mixture a good stir to toss. Then return it to the oven and toast for an additional 3 minutes. Keep a very close eye on the mixture so that it does not burn. Remove and set aside.) Add ingredients (including the vinaigrette) together in a large bowl, and toss until combined. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. (This salad is much better eaten the first day, as the noodles lose their "crunch" the longer it sits, and the avocado may brown a bit. Still, it's perfectly edible and enjoyable even after a few days!) To Make The Vinaigrette: Whisk all ingredients together until combined.
