Pregnancy cravings can be a crazy thing. I haven't craved anything out-of-the-ordinary, really, in fact my biggest craving has been for potatoes. Potatoes in ANY form... baked, fried, mashed, raw, doesn't really matter. Recently though I started craving this salad from Applebee's. Like, I HAD to have it. I decided to try to make it at home and it turned out so well! The dressing.. oh, the dressing! And the crunchy texture of the salad... yummy yummy yummy. Enjoy!!!
Ingredients:
Salad:
4-6 frozen, fried chicken strips (yes I totally cheated and used frozen ones though you are welcome to fry your own if you feel so inclined LOL), prepared according to package directions and then cut into bite-size pieces
3 c. chopped romaine lettuce
1/2 c. chopped red cabbage
1/2 c. chopped napa cabbage
1 cucumber, peeled and chopped
3 Tbsp sliced almonds
Dry chow mein noodles (no measurement here, just add them according to your own taste)*
Dressing (makes one cup):
1/2 c. honey
3 Tbsp. rice vinegar
1/2 c. mayonnaise
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp. sesame oil
This makes a fairly large salad, so if you are only making it for one person you can certainly reduce the amounts (or you can do what I did and make the whole thing so I could have it again the next day LOL!)
*Be sure to add the chow mein noodles just before serving the salad. You definitely want them to stay crunchy. If you are planning to have the salad more than once only add noodles to the portion you plan to eat.... no one wants soggy noodles when you eat this the next day!
