Here's a cool, easy entree perfect for steamy summer days! You can do most of the preparation for this dish ahead of time and just mix it together before serving. The crispy lettuce and wonton skins keep this dish light, while the chicken and dressing give it wonderful flavor. —Shirley Smith, Yorba Linda, California

Ingredients

6 ounces wonton wrappers, cut into 1/4-inch strips
Oil for deep-fat frying
3 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 head lettuce, shredded
4 green onions with tops, sliced
1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted
DRESSING:
1/3 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon monosodium glutamate, optional
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Deep-fry wonton strips in oil until brown and crisp. Drain on paper towels; set aside.
In a large salad bowl, gently combine the chicken, lettuce, green onions and sesame seeds. In a small bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients. Just before serving, add fried wonton skins to salad; pour dressing over and toss to coat. Yield: 6-8 servings.
