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!

  3. Pour the dressing evenly over top of the salad and toss everything together until all of the salad is coated in dressing.
  4. Salad is best served after sitting in the fridge for an hour or two but can be served immediately when in a pinch.

THREE YEARS OLD!!! I can’t believe my baby girl THREE YEARS OLD!!!

I can’t believe my baby girl is already 3. Quinney woke up today crying that she didn’t want it to be her birthday and didn’t want to turn 3. If only I could keep her 2 forever 🤣

Quinney is our sour patch girl. She is a wild child with some serious sass but she has a very sweet side too. She’s the funniest little thing and always has us laughing. Her personality is summed up perfectly in many of these videos. She beats to the tune of her own drum, that’s for sure. But we wouldn’t have it any other way! 

She loves all things girly. Dancing, babies, Barbie’s, make up, nail polish, dresses and pink. We love our big 3 year old Quinney girl 💕💕💕
Food content has slowed down, I’m not in the kit Food content has slowed down, I’m not in the kitchen creating as much as normal and it’s been really hard on me to not be producing new recipes for you guys a couple times a week but that’s just the stage of life I’m in right now…..

Growing a human, raising 2 other humans, being a wife and taking care of my family will always be my number one priority. I’m exhausted 99% of the time but I know I’ll look back on these messy days and miss them dearly so right now I’m trying to not be so hard on myself and just live in the moment and be grateful for this life I’ve been blessed with. 

I promise when I get some energy back (if ever this pregnancy 🤪) I will be back to producing a couple new recipes a week but in the meantime I hope you stick around and enjoy my life via Instagram exactly as it is ❤️❤️❤️
