1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tsp dark sesame oil
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 1/4 Tbsp julienned pickled ginger
2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 lb cooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, chopped or julienned

1/2 cup blanched snow peas

4 cups shredded lettuce
2 tablespoons toasted sliced almonds

Mix the vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and soy sauce thoroughly.

Tips - -
This dish keeps well.. If there is any left over, take it on a picnic 
or have it for a snack.

Culinary Taste Tip - -
Keep the skins on your almonds, because they contain more than 
20 potent flavonoids: substances found in plants that help 
neutralize overly reactive oxygen-containing molecules, and 
prevent cell damage.

Culinary Technique Tip - -
No time to prepare fresh chicken for this dish? Buy one already 
roasted at your grocery store. Just peel off the skin and you're 
ready to go!
