I am in love with this Chinese Chicken Salad. That was true the first time I had my first bite of my first Chinese Chicken Salad when I began waiting tables at Stanley’s Restaurant in Sherman Oaks. If you read my blog for the Sesame Ginger Vinaigrette, you know that the Chinese Chicken Salad that they featured at the restaurant was a best seller. I would have table after table come in to just order that salad!
Today, I salute Stanley’s Restaurant’s Chinese Chicken Salad with a tasty version of my own. I took what I loved about the Stanley’s Salad and changed a few things, added a few other, including our own Homemade Tiny Kitchen Big Taste Sesame Ginger Salad Dressing.

It would’ve been helpful if there was a link to the dressing needed for this salad. And it would’ve been interesting to know how and why it differs from Stanley’s.

Thanks for the message. If you click on “Sesame Ginger Vinaigrette,” it should take you directly to the recipe for the dressing. I never got the official Stanley’s recipe, but I think it tastes pretty darn close to what I remember. 🙂 Hope you enjoy, Pat!
