  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

Equipment

  • small food processor or small blender

Method
 

  1. In a small skillet, add the almonds and saute on low making sure to toss it so it doesn't burn. Cook until lightly toasted.
  2. WONTONS: Meanwhile, set oven to broil. Slice the tortillas into little strips so they resemble wonton chips. Spread them evenly on a baking dish and broil for just a few minutes. Keep an eye on them because they cook fast. They take about 3 minutes or so and can burn quickly so be watchful.
  3. CARROT DRESSING: add all the ingredients into a small blender or food processor and blend well. Set aside.
  4. CHICKEN SALAD: In a very large bowl add all the ingredients and toss. (EXCEPT Wontons and avocados)
  5. In a bowl, divide the salad amongst for bowls. Top with avocado, and wontons. Add the dressing and enjoy.
