I love trying new salads. It wasn’t until recently that I’ve been discovering that there is life outside of just a “green salad”. This Japanese Chicken Salad is a unique and delicious. I’ve taken it to a couple of parties and everyone has loved it. My mom loves it best after a day or two, but I think it’s only good the day it’s made!

Wonder if you could use chicken bouillon powder in replacement of ramen seasoning?

Do you know the flavoring packet on the “Oriental” seasoning has changed? It’s gross. update your recipe!
