Chinese Chicken Salad
Serves: 8-10 | Prep Time: 45 mins
The "Ultimate" doesn't even cover it! This Loaded Chinese Chicken Salad is the star of the show. We’ve got the crunch from our Ramen Straws, the tang from the Sesame Dressing, and the savory kick from Cayt’s Favorite Chicken. 100% clean, 100% gluten-free, and 100% delicious.

Final Assembly:
