  This is a pretty straight forward & easy recipe to follow, I always make the dressing a day ahead or a few hours before & let it chill in the fridge. Once you quickly chop & prep the salad toppers all you need to do if fry the wontons, toss it all together & you're done! Many things can be added to this dish, celery, carrots, cabbage, water chestnuts, cashews, & peanuts would go well with this dish. Don't forget, you can always substitute soy sauce for gluten free soy sauce & remove the wontons to make it gluten free!
