Asian Salad

Cooking is not my specialty but this creation I've put together I really love so I wanted to post this "making".

My base recipe came from my mom which I think came from a church cookbook.  I added a few things and found a dressing I LOVE and this Asian Salad reminds me a lot of the one at Souplantation or The Red Tomato.

Ingredients:
Bag of lettuce (I got one with carrots, and radishes but I buy whatever is on sale)
Can of Mandarin oranges in their own juice.  
Green Onions (I used one that had about three offshoots and I like to use the green and white part)
Celery (about three to four stocks)
Slivered almonds (add to taste.  I also had some pecans so I threw a few chopped in as well)
La Choy rice noodles (smashed Top Raman works too)
Cooked chicken (I boil my chicken and then cut it into small chunks.  I added about 5 tenderloins to the salad)
Sesame Seeds (to taste)
Kraft Light Asian Toasted Sesame reduced fat dressing (this is what brings the salad all together.   It's really yummy.)

I would post a picture but we ate it all.  Next time.  :)
