Chinese Chicken Salad

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

This is my go to favorite recipe when needing to serve a crowd! It is perfect for graduation parties, baby showers, bridal showers, summer barbecues, you name it, if there’s a crowd this is the perfect dish. I grew up eating this classic Chinese Chicken Salad. My mom made a version of this every summer that I can remember growing up. I have since adapted the recipe to make it my own and not only is it delicious, it is so easy to throw together. Even the most novice cook can make this recipe. I promise you will impress everyone at your event with this salad!

Tips &Tricks

  • Make this salad a couple hours before you are wanting to serve it. It tastes best when it has sat in the fridge for a couple hours so that all the flavors can meld and the dressing can soak into every nook and cranny of the salad.
  • My favorite hack for this salad is using 1/2 package of precooked rotisserie chicken from Costco. It saves so much time!

It’s been over a year since I’ve had a new recipe on the blog and I’m so happy to report that I’m back and have a brand new recipe you don’t want to miss! 

If you haven’t tried @thecravecookies yet, you are totally missing out! Their Pistoffee cookie is to die for and I created a copycat for you guys! It’s loaded with salted pistachios, toffee chunks and semi sweet chocolate! The perfect sweet and salty treat!

I brought these cookies to Bunco last week and girls were stashing them in their bags to take home, they are that yummy!
