Chicken Salad with Crispy Wontons

[fuzzyred]

This week I didn't feel like anything heavy, so I decided to make a salad. I did have to make some changes though.

Variations and Thoughts
The first variation is kind of a big one. I couldn't find wonton wrappers OR the crispy wonton strips my grandma buys, so I ended up buying French's Crunchy Toppers, the onion variety. They are crunchy and tasty and I thought they'd pair well with the salad (they did). I used apple cider vinegar because I couldn't find anything else and I think it worked out fine. I also couldn't find sesame oil, so I used sunflower oil instead. I didn't measure the lettuce, just tore up as much as I thought I needed. And I used diced roma tomatoes instead of grape tomatoes because all the ones in the store looked rotten.

After making the dressing, I tasted it right away and found out why it says to make it first and set it aside; the flavours need time to combine. When I was ready to put it on the salad, I tasted it again and it was decent, kind of like a salt and vinegar chips. The crunchy onions were rather tasty with the salad, and everything blended together pretty well. All in all, a good salad, and I may add permesan cheese when I eat more of it later.
