SALAD CHINOIS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss chicken, coleslaw mix, and drained chow mein vegetables until well mixed. Toss chicken mixture with enough dressing to coat well. Line individual bowls or plates with a small amount of green salad. Spoon chicken mixture on top of green salad. Garnish with noodles and orange segments before serving.
• In a small bowl, whisk mayonnaise, soy sauce, and ginger until blended. Set aside, or refrigerate, if not using soon. Whisk again after refrigerating.

DIANA CHANG'S CHINESE SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the noodles, stir, and allow to boil for 2 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water, and drain again thoroughly. Using scissors, snip the noodles into manageable lengths, and place in a salad bowl.
• Wash the cucumbers, and peel, leaving some narrow ribbons of green skin unpeeled. Slice the cucumbers in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds. Then slice horizontally about 1/4 inch thick. Add to the salad bowl.
• Rinse, core, and seed the red pepper. Slice into slender strips. Add to the salad bowl.
• Peel and slice the onion into transparent slivers, and add to the bowl.
• Beat the vinegar and oil together in separate bowl, pour over the salad, and toss. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Just before serving add the coriander, and toss again.
