Ok, so you know how great it is when you take a bite of an amazing Asian salad, where the dressing is just right and you wipe the dish clean… yeah, well so do I!  I love a delicious salad and nothing bothers me more than going out to eat and being disappointed that the restaurant got it wrong, one way or another.

This brings me to this recipe.  I have to say this recipe started out as spinach, avocado and orange but I quickly decided it needed much more color, lots more flavor and a whole lot of yum!

I then figured, why stop there!  Why not shred some of my leftover roasted chicken (http://www.ladlesofyum.com/2013/06/perfect-roasted-chicken/) or dice some baked chicken cutlets and yum… dinner is served!

I hope you enjoy it.  I wish you a very happy new year and, as always, ladles and ladles of yum!
