do you have a good Oriental chicken salad?

Georg

I'm looking for an Oriental chicken salad recipe.
I usually combine a precut bag of cabbage slaw, one of shredded lettuce, some chicken, slivered almonds & dressing. I'm not fond of any of the bottled dressings.
So I guess I'm looking for a dressing recipe with calorie/carb counts.
Do you have one?

3 cup(s) assorted fresh vegetables (such as fresh pea pods, halved crosswise; red sweet pepper strips; shredded carrot; and/or bite-size cucumber strips)

Preparation
Chicken Salad:

1. Place chicken on the unheated greased rack of a broiler pan. In a small bowl combine soy sauce and ginger; brush some of the mixture onto one side of each chicken breast half. Broil 4 inches from heat for 12 to 15 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink (170°F), turning and brushing once with the remaining soy mixture halfway through broiling time. Discard any remaining soy mixture. Remove from heat; cool slightly. Cut chicken into bite-size strips. Set aside.

2. In a large bowl toss together salad greens, assorted fresh vegetables, red cabbage, and green onions.

3. Shake Oriental Salad Dressing well; pour about 1/2 cup of the dressing over salad. Toss lightly to coat. Divide salad among 4 dinner plates. Top salads with chicken strips; pour remaining dressing over chicken. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Oriental Salad Dressing:

In a screw-top jar combine 1/3 cup unsweetened pineapple juice, 1/4 cup rice vinegar or white vinegar, 3 tablespoons salad oil, 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce, 2 teaspoons sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cover and shake well

Have you tried Newmans Lighten Up Sesame Ginger dressing? The only asain dressing I liked was taken off the market, but I picked up the Newmans and its very good. Not super sweet like alot of them, almost spicy with the ginger. And at 35 calories per 2 TBSP serving, you cant beat it.

Thanks. I'll try these.

I also like the spray dressing in asian ginger (I think it's wishbone or kens), it's a bit sweet but I add a touch of Dutch's sweet and sour (no cal no fat) for some extra to swish things around in. Also a Dole mandarin orange cup is nice to add some texture too.
