Chinese Chicken Salad

This is one of my favorite summertime dishes. You don't have to make it with chicken, but if you're serving it as the main dish it gives the salad some substance!

Serves 10

INGREDIENTS:
1 lb. chicken, cooked and cut into small chunks
2 3 oz. packages of ramen noodles, crushed
1 cup of slivered almonds
1 head of cabbage, shredded
1 bunch of green onions, chopped
2 tbsp sesame seeds
1/2 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce

DIRECTIONS:
1. In a pan over low heat brown ramen noodles, almonds, and sesame seeds with melted butter. Once browned, remove from heat and cool.

3. In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, chopped green onions and chicken. Add the noodle and soy sauce mixture. Toss to coat. Serve.
