  • 4 cups spinach leaves
  • 1 cup mandarin oranges, drained
  • 1 (5 oz.) can water chestnuts, sliced
  • 1 large avocado, sliced
  • 1 cut carrots, chopped
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup almonds, slivered, toasted
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 15-20 small wonton wrappers
  • 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste

In a large bowl, combine the first 8 ingredients through sesame seeds. Add salt and pepper, to taste. In a large frying pan, working in batches, bring the oil up to frying temperature (375 degrees). Drop in the wonton wrappers for 1 minute or less on each side or until golden brown. Place on a paper towel lined plate to absorb excess oil.

In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and both oils. Pour desired amount of dressing over salad. Serve immediately with crunchy wonton wrappers.
