Won Ton Salad

At the request of good friends I am posting this recipe. This one was always a family favorite when we were kids. My mom got it from an Enrichment activity and is now my "go to dish" for potlucks. Enjoy!!

Ingredients

1 head of lettuce (chopped)
2 Cups fresh mushrooms sliced
2 oz sliced almonds
1 C water chestnuts (I just use the whole can) drained
2-4 boneless chicken breast grilled or boiled (I do both, boil first then grill on my George)
1 bunch of green onions chopped
1/4 C sesame seeds
1 small pkg won ton skins fried & broken up (you can find this in the produce section)

Dressing
6 T apple cider vinegar
6 T Sugar
2 tsp salt
1/2 t pepper
1 T sesame seeds

Combine all ingredients in a BIG bowl (it makes a lot)! Feel free to use clean hands to toss the side around because it will be hard to mix. Or mix it each time you add in an ingredient.
For the dressing combine all the ingredients in a sauce pan and heat until sugar is dissolved. Poor it into a shaker or a container with a lid and put in the fridge for 30 minutes (to let it cool). Then add 1/2 cup of oil and allow to cool even more. Shake it up really well and pour over the salad about 30 minutes before eating it. But a lid on the salad a shake! Serve chilled and enjoy!!
