    Chinese Chicken Salad With Peanut-Sesame Dressing, Cold shredded chicken in a peanut-sesame dressing is a common component of the exquisitely arranged cold appetizer platters served at Chinese banquets. This salad is as popular among Westerners as it is with the Chinese, and many variations of it are offered in casual dining spots throughout the West. From Joyce Jue, Far East Cafe: The Best of Casual Asian Cooking., We really enjoyed this salad — it is light enough to be a lunch salad and equally filling for dinner entree. Loved all the ingredients; although DH pushed aside his carrots. : ) The dressing is wonderful and we loved the crunchy texture from all the veggies and peanuts. Will definitely make this again. Made for Culinary Quest, 2014 – China.
