Tips for making Asian chicken salad

• You can use store-bought teriyaki sauce or use my homemade recipe.
• This salad can all be prepped ahead of time and assembled right before serving.
• Let the dressing come to room temp before mixing.
• These Garlic ginger wonton strips and the peanuts add so much crunch to the salad, do not leave these out.
• They usually carry wontons in the produce section, they do have plain wontons but the garlic ginger adds to the Asian flavor.
• I use peanuts but you could also use sliced almonds.
• The chili pepper flakes is optional for the dressing but it does add just the right amount of heat.
