Ingredients

  • 6 cups mixed greens

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh green beans, blanched, cut into 3-inch pieces
  • 1 cucumber, sliced
  • 1 red onion, cut into small pieces
  • 1 fresh mango, cut into small pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup balsamic vinaigrette
  • 1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 8 (6 inch) egg roll wraps, fried crisp
  • 4 ounces sweet and sour sauce
  • 4 ounces macadamia nuts, toasted and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
  • 4 ounces carrots, peeled, sliced into 1-inch thin strips
  • 1 ounce green onion, sliced into 1-inch thin strips

Method

  1. Combine the mixed greens, sliced grilled chicken, red and yellow bell pepper strips, blanched green beans, cucumber slices, red onion pieces and mango pieces in a large bowl. Add the salt and ground black pepper to season.
  2. In a separate container, whisk the balsamic vinaigrette with the seasoned rice vinegar, granulated sugar and sesame oil. Pour this dressing over the salad ingredients and toss everything gently to coat.
  3. Lightly brush each crispy fried egg roll wrap with sweet and sour sauce. To assemble each salad, create layers in individual bowls, starting with some of the dressed salad mixture, then a glazed egg roll wrapper, more salad, another wrapper and the final portion of salad.
  4. Scatter the toasted, chopped macadamia nuts and toasted sesame seeds over the top of each assembled salad.
  5. Finish each salad by garnishing with the thin strips of carrot and the sliced green onions.
