Ingredients

6 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
1 cup strawberry, sliced
1 cup mandarin orange, drained
3/4 cup chow mein noodles
3 tablespoons slivered almonds
1/2 cup light balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing

Steps:

Combine all in a large salad bowl and mix well to coat salad with dressing. Voila!
Would be good with probably most viniagrettes but personally I make mine with Newman's Low-Fat Sesame Ginger Dressing! It really adds an asian twist and is relatively healthy.
