Chinese Chicken Salad

I went to a church meeting where they served us this salad for dinner. I've had salad like this before with cabbage and ramen noodles, so this one was a little different. I liked it--especially with an alternative to the ramen. The cilantro in it was my favorite part.


Dressing:
4 Tbs. Heinz Vinegar
4 Tbs. Sugar
1 tsp. Salt
¼ tsp. Pepper
4 Tbs. Salad Oil

Salad:

2 Chicken breasts

3-4 Green Onions

Cilantro

1 Head of Lettuce

½ pkg. Mai Fun Noodles

½ Cup Chopped Peanuts or Sliced Almonds



Boil chicken and shred into bite size pieces.
Fry Mai Fun noodles in hot oil. Keep in plastic bag to keep from getting soggy and stale.
Finely chop the head of lettuce
Chop peanuts. . . .we like lots of peanuts / or used sliced almonds.
Chop green onions and add cilantro if you wish, or leave cilantro in large twigs so people can pull them out.

Serve it fresh. . .
Mix together lettuce, chicken, green onions and cilantro. Mix salad dressing and pour it over the first four ingredients, mix in the noodles and nuts last. Serve immediately.
