                   to handle with your hands. Or buy a rotisserie chicken from the store
                   Hand shred the cooked chicken or finely slice into thin shreds.

                   Lettuce – wash and slice into bite size pieces.  Refrigerate till ready to use.
                   Green Onions – Use white and green parts, wash, slice thinly sliced on the
                   diagonal
                   Chinese Parsley – wash and remove the root part. Cut same length as lettuce.
                   Sesame Seeds – put into a dry pan and heat over medium heat.  Stir and toss
                   frequently.  Do NOT walk away.
                   Dressing – Combine all the wet ingredients with dry mustard and mix well.

                   You can prepare all the above and put into separate airtight containers and store
                   in the refrigerator till you are ready to serve the salad.

                   Making the Salad:
                       1.  Combine shredded chicken and the salad dressing Toss well to coat all
                          the chicken.
                       2.  Add sliced Green Onions to dressed shredded chicken and toss well.
                       3.  Using a large platter, spread lettuce evenly over the platter.
                       4.  Spread the dressed chicken/green onions evenly over the lettuce.
                       5.  Spread the Chinese Parsley over the Chicken.

                   This method of serving the Chicken Salad helps to keep the lettuce crisp and will
                   not get soggy as quickly. Enjoy!
