Oriental Chicken Salad

Salad Ingredients:
4 chicken breast halves - boiled and cut up
1 small can crunchy CHinese noodles
1 handful Chinese pea pods cut up
1 head romaine or red-leaf lettuce; rinsed and cut into bite-sized pieces
1 4oz bag slivered almonds
12 oz cooked linguini noodles
1/2 small white onion, diced

Salad Directions:
Combine all ingredients and put into large serving bowl.  Top with dressing:

Dressing ingredients:
1 c. white vinegar
2 c. oil
2 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 small white onion
2/3 cup sugar
2 tsp salt
2 tsp celery seeds

Dressing Instructions:
Put all of the above ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth.  Pour over the top of the salad and serve immediately.  The crunchy cheinese noodles go soggy over time, so only make as much as you will eat or you will have soggy leftovers.

If you have time to make this ahead of time, it tastes better if you can soak the cooked chicken in the dressing (keep in a large zip loc bag in the fridge) for a few hours.  Serve with orange rolls!
