Chicken Won Ton Salad

I had a Won Ton Salad recipe while living in Logan that was so delicious. I have since lost it and can't find anything that quite compares. While looking through recipes, this recipe looks like it might come in a close second so it makes its way onto my two week menu plan. Also with the heat of summer, I really do try to make a salad once a week that serves as the main course.

2 Cups Cooked Chicken, Cut into Small Chunks
2 Heads of Romain Lettuce
1/4 Cup Toasted Sesame Seeds
3 Green Onions, Chopped
2 Stalks Celery, Cut Thin on the Diagonal
Cherry Tomatoes (Optional)
Won Ton Wrappers

In a large bowl combine: cooked chicken, lettuce, sesame seeds, green onions, celery, and tomatoes. Slice the won ton wrappers with a pizza slicer into strips and deep fry to desired crispiness. Also recently, I have seen won ton strips in the produce section of grocery stores. You could try that option for a faster meal and less mess. I would serve the won ton strips on the side so if there are left overs, the won tons won't go soggy. Before serving toss salad with dressing that has chilled for at least one hour.

Dressing:
1/4 Cup Vegetable Oil
4 Teaspoons Rice Vinegar
3 Tablespoons Sugar
1 Teasppon Salt
1 Teaspoon Seasoning Salt
