Chopped Chinese Chicken Salad

My favorite Chinese Chicken salad of all time is from Joan’s on Third. If you are in the LA area, this is a staple. I don’t know how they do it, but it is pretty incredible.

I’ve been wanting to make my own Chinese Chicken salad for awhile now. The key is to chop all of the ingredients super fine! This chopped salad is nice, light, and crunchy. Personally, I like drench my salad in the dressing.

If you have a Trader Joes in your area, I highly recommend to buy the vegan chicken-less seasoning. It gives me top ramen seasoning vibes. I heavily seasoned my chicken in this spice before cooking on the stove. Another tip- I diced my avocado and then sprinkled everything but the bagel seasoning on top before adding to the salad. I wanted to the seasoning to stick. This salad is perfect for lunch or a nice light dinner!
