Salad and dressing can be ready in advance and just tossed before serving. Most of the time it is not necessary to cook the pea pods. If they are excessively crisp, plunge them into boiling water for 1 minute.

4 cups cooked shredded chicken
3/4 cup chopped green onions
1 package (8 ounces) frozen pea pods, defrosted
3 tablespoons lightly toasted sesame seeds

1 medium head iceberg lettuce, shredded

In a large bowl, toss together first 4 ingredients. Add the lettuce just before serving. Pour Ginger Honey Dressing to taste over the salad and toss to blend. Serves 6.

Ginger Honey Dressing:
1/2 cup peanut oil
1/2 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
4 tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons soy sauce

In a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid, shake together all the ingredients until blended. Unused dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for weeks. Yields about 1 1/2 cups sauce.

Notes for Advance Preparation:
-Chicken can be cooked 1 day earlier and stored in the refrigerator.
-Ginger Honey Dressing can be prepared 4 days earlier and stored in the refrigerator.
