Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 romaine lettuce hearts, chopped
1 cup chopped cilantro
4 hard-boiled egg whites, chopped
1 cup fried won ton noodles
cubed chicken breast (optional)
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons Italian dressing
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
4 hard-boiled egg yolks
1 tablespoon peanut butter
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/4 cup water
2 teaspoons fish sauce
1/2 cup Italian dressing
1 tablespoon sugar (to taste)

Steps:

Thinly slice half a white onion and marinate it with the Italian dressing.
Hard boil 4 eggs. Cool, then peel the eggs. Separate the yolks from the whites. (Chop the whites up and add them to the salad.).
Make the dressing: Mash the egg yolks in a bowl. Add the garlic, peanut butter, mayonnaise, water, fish sauce, and Italian dressing. Stir well to combine. It should be a smooth sauce, with very little lumps. Add the marinated onions to the dressing. Add in the sugar, a little at a time, until it reaches the desired balance of sweet to tart.
Lightly toss the lettuce, egg whites, cilantro, and fried won ton noodles together with the dressing. Add the chicken if using.
Plate on serving plates & drizzle with the dressing.
