Crunchy Asian Chicken Salad image

I love their crunchy, citrusy salad so much that once I made my husband drive an hour to the nearest Applebee's restaurant just so I could eat it! It was time to come up with my own version. I'm completely happy with the results-and my husband is, too! Find more of my recipes at my blog, mandysrecipeboxblog.com. -Mandy Bird, Holbrook, Idaho
