Salad with an Asian flair?

[IMGONNABE40!]

I am looking for some ideas/recipes for what to put in a salad for our Easter dinner. I have had a salad with mandarin oranges and crispy fried noodles. What else should go in? What type of dressing? Thanks for the suggestions.

Ginger dressing... It's yummy.

You could put in peanuts and chicken.
For a dressing idea-you could do an oriental dressing. Or the same type of dressing you would use for a Chinese Chicken Salad.

Chinese Chicken Salad Dressing-
1/4 C. Sugar
1/4 to 1/3 C. Vinegar
1/4 to 1/2 C. Salad Oil
2 T. Sesame Oil
2 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Pepper
Sesame Seeds
