4 cook necessary Recipes

romaine lettuce (my card just says 1 bag, 12-16 ounce is a guess. depends on how you like the proportion), cut-up cooked chicken breasts (we usually grill or broil it), tomatoes (halved if necessary) or 2 cups grape (halved if necessary), cut-up cooked asparagus (i steam just long enough to take off the raw edge, but remain a crunchy, then plunge into cold water), caesar salad dressing (regular or reduced fat ), seasoned croutons, shredded parmesan cheese (the real stuff, not the powdered stuff that you shake out of a jar)

melted butter or 1/4 cup margarine, cocoa, salt (regular table is better in this instance -- not kosher as i usually prefer), milk, vanilla, powdered sugar

shrimp, peeled, tails removed & cooked (i used ex large, but large will work fine, use what is on sale, and take advantage of the seafood co), head napa cabbage, thin sliced (i used a mix of napa and romaine, but use what you enjoy best, the napa is just very good with this ), romaine lettuce hearts , rough chopped, cucumber , cut in half lengthwise and then very thin sliced in half moons (i happen to love , but depending on the size, use as much as you want), onion, cut in quarters and thin sliced (i prefer a vidalia or fl sweet onion), bean sprouts, rinsed and drained (but if available, 15 oz, or about 2 cups of fresh bean sprouts), red pepper , thin sliced in matchsticks (optional), water chestnuts, rinsed, drained and rough chopped, chow mein noodles (1 to 1 1/2 in the salad, and as much as you want as a garnish), kraft toasted asian sesame dressing , you can also serve more on the side if necessary and see the note below on dressing substitutes (lite or regular version), scallion, fine diced (optional), toasted sesame seeds (optional)
