This salad was delicious. The only change I made was omitting the parmesan cheese. I took the chicken out of the freezer early in the day, thawed it lightly in the microwave, then placed it in a plastic bag with the marinade for the remainder of the day. I have never had the Asian salad at McDonald's so I can't say how close this recipe is to that. It was very delicious though and all 4 of my kids enjoyed this also. Thanks for sharing it. Prepared for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup game, March '09.
