"Here's a main dish that's a refreshing change of pace for dinner," writes Linda LaPresle from Glendora, California. "Chock-full of veggies, it's a treat for the two of us," she says, "and so easy to multiply for drop-in guests." TIP: Use any remaining water chestnuts or bean sprouts in a stir-fry, salad or Asian-flavored wrap sandwich later.

ASIAN CHICKEN SALAD WITH ORANGE-GINGER DRESSING



Asian Chicken Salad With Orange-Ginger Dressing image

This Asian inspired salad makes for a lovely luncheon or supper. The contents of the salad can easily be adjusted to whatever you like or have on hand. If you prefer a vegetarian meal, omit the chicken or use tofu instead. Won't be chicken salad but will still be delicious.
