(Makes 4 Large Salads)

Sesame Dressing Ingredients
1/2 cup corn syrup
3 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons pineapple juice
4 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon paprika
pinch garlic powder
pinch ground black pepper
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds
4 chicken breast fillets
1 large head iceberg lettuce, chopped
4 cups red leaf lettuce, chopped
1 1/3 cups canned mandarin orange wedges
1 cup rice noodles (or chow mein noodles)
1 cup roasted sliced almonds

Directions
:

  1. Prepare dressing by combining all dressing ingredients except vegetable oil and sesame seeds in a blender on high speed. Slowly add oil to mixture - it will thicken and create an emulsion. Add sesame seeds and blend for just a couple seconds. Pour dressing into a covered container (such as a dressing cruet) and chill until needed.
  2. Rub each chicken breast fillet with oil, then lightly salt and pepper each piece. Grill on medium/high heat until done. Chill chicken breasts in your refrigerator until cold.
  3. When the chicken is cold, build each salad by first arranging about 4 cups of iceberg lettuce in the bottom of a large salad bowl or on a plate.
  4. Arrange a cup of red leaf lettuce on the iceberg lettuce.
  5. Dice each chicken breast into bite-size pieces and sprinkle the pieces from each one over each salad.
  6. Arrange about 1/3 cup of mandarin orange wedges on each salad.
  7. Next, sprinkle about 1/4 cup of rice noodles and 1/4 cup of roasted sliced almonds on top of each salad.
  8. Add desired amount of sesame dressing and serve.
