Asian Salad

This is probably a pretty ridiculous recipe to post, since most stores sell those kits that come with (almost) everything you need for this salad. But it just sounds yummy to me right now, so there you go! Once again, I haven't listed quantities so you can decide how much you like of what.

Ingredients

lettuce (I prefer romaine)
red or orange bell pepper, julienned
sugar snap peas
can(s) of water chestnuts, drained
can(s) of mandarin oranges, drained
slivered almonds or cashew pieces
crunchy chow mein noodles
dressing (I love Girard's Chinese Chicken Salad dressing)

cooked chicken, cubed (if desired)

Directions

Mix everything together and eat it, because it's delicious! You could make it ahead of time, though keep in mind that the crunchier items will get soft, and the softer items (mandarin oranges, I'm looking in your directions) might get mushed up. It would be just as easy to have everything prepped but separate until right before serving. I like chicken in this salad, but it's definitely not essential; I bet diced steak would be good too.
