This was so healthy and delicious. I didn't have Dulcet's and I used Kraft's Asian Toasted Sesame. I marinated the chicken in a little pineapple juice, rice wine vinegar, garlic, and some seasonings and grilled the chicken. I used about a cup of bean sprouts and did not use snap peas. I topped it off with toasted sesame seeds and cashews.

Great salad! I loved it with all the veggies. As the chicken was cooking, I chopped the veggies, made the dressing and fried the wonton strips. I have never seen Dulcet's dressing so made this.<br/>5/8 garlic cloves , minced<br/>1/2 tablespoon minced fresh gingerroot<br/>1/4 cup olive oil (used half sesame oil)<br/>1/8 cup rice vinegar<br/>1/8 cup soy sauce<br/>5/8 tablespoon honey<br/>1/16 cup water<br/>In a 1 pint glass jar or larger, combine the garlic, ginger, olive oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, and water. Cover the jar with a tight fitting lid, and shake well. Remove lid, and heat jar in the microwave for 1 minute just to dissolve the honey. Let cool, and shake well before serving. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator.

I live in a small town in Oregon, still awaiting our first stop light. I work in a neighboring town as a small animal veterinarian, part-time. I have a four year old daughter and a 2 year old son. I have two large horses, a miniature horse, one dog and one cat. My husband and I enjoy anything in the out of doors. Besides spending time with family and our animals, my family and I enjoy being involved in our church and spending time with friends.
Although many of my recipes posted are of desserts I like to make for family or friends, I have for the last several years ascribed to a healthier lifestyle...eating lots of protein, veggies and fruits. No, I am not a low carber....I eat the right carbs....brown rice, whole wheat bread and all in moderation. I do have several recipes posted that I use often that adhere to these guidelines. When you combine eating nutrient dense foods with monitoring your caloric intake, you can't help but be healthy! There is an awesome free website that you can use along with Zaar to help meet these goals. It is www.calorie-count.com. It takes a day or two to learn how to use it...but it is a fantastic resource for anyone wanting to analyze what they eat and figure out what your caloric expenditures and allowances should be. Like Zaar it also had a wonderful community of people with a common interest...staying healthy while enjoying foods. OK...enough of the plug...but I really do love that website!
Zaar has been great for finding recipes that fit this lifestyle...many recipes can simply be modified to be healthy. The variety this gives us has made the difference in getting the whole family to eat that way....that's right...I don't think my daughter has tasted white bread more than two to three times in her life!!! On all four of her birthdays she turned up her nose at the cake I baked her (a once a year exception)....which made me so happy!!
So thank you Zaar....for contributing to our healthy lifestyle...couldn't do it without you!!!
