Cheap Chinese Chicken Salad Recipe
There are a million different variations on the classic Chinese chicken salad. It’s a dish that shows up on many a restaurant menu. And it’s a dish that’s probably much more American than Chinese.
But there’s a reason why we keep seeing this salad over and over again.
Because it’s delicious.
My variation – and this should come as no surprise – is a budget-friendly take on the classic Chinese chicken salad. I ended up spending right around $4.00 for four large servings. I consider that a cheap recipe win.
