From: Gladys/PR 4-16-2005

DRESSING:
1/3 cup vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. horseradish
1/4 cup Spanish onion, diced
1 cup canola oil
Cook chicken fillets as directed
SALAD:
1 1/2 cups coleslaw mix (or finely shredded cabbage)
1 romaine heart
1/3 cup toasted almond slivers or slices (blanched almonds)
1/2 cup chow mein noodles
4 cooked breaded chicken breast fillets, cut up

To make dressing, combine everything but the oil in a blender of food processor and process until liquified. Continue to blend and slowly drizzle in the oil until blended.

To be really authentic, make coleslaw with the cabbage and the dressing first and top it with the lettuce, almonds and noodles. Then cut up the chicken and add to salads.

I've had good results by layering first the romaine then the cabbage, almonds, chicken and dressing.

This should make 3 or 4 salads
