(AKA Sandy Salad in our family, named for my sister-in-law's sister)2 heads romaine lettuce
1 bunch green onions
1 red bell pepper
4 chicken breasts, cooked and cubed (optional for main dish salad)
1 pkg. won ton wrappers
Dressing:
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. oil
1/2 c. white vinegar
1 tbsp. peanut oil (optional)
1-1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1-1/2 tsp. Accent (optional)
1 tbsp. sesame seeds
Mix dressing and refrigerate for at least 24 hrs. Chop lettuce, onion and pepper. Fry wonton wraps in oil over medium heat. Drain and cool. Break into bite size pieces. Toss everything with dressing just before serving.
Note: This is a perfect make ahead and take along dish. Store the dressing in a jar at room temperature. Store the crispy fried wontons in an airtight bag or container at room temperature. Store the salad chopped ingredients in a bag in the refrigerator or in an insulated cooler. When ready to serve, just toss ingredients together in a big bowl.
