RECIPE: Cheesecake Factory Luau Salad
|
The Cheesecake Factory just emailed us about their new Luau Salad. Wow, we thought: just what we’re in the mood for. It’s a more glamorous variation of a Chinese chicken salad, substituting mango for mandarin orange segments.
Alas, The Cheesecake Factory has no locations in New York City, where we live. So we did the next best thing: We made our own Luau Salad. Here are the ingredients: *We used 2.5 parts olive oil, .5 part sesame oil and 1 part apple cider vinegar. |

We used fried wonton strips that we had on hand from Chinese takeout. Next time, we’ll buy wonton wrappers and fry and season them. Heat oil to 375 F°, slide in the wrappers and deep-fry until golden brown, turning to brown evenly. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with black and white sesame seeds while warm. Press the seeds into the wrappers. Store-bought wonton wrappers are round, not square like the custom-made wrapper in the photo. But if you want a platform on which to layer the salad, you can substitute lavasch flatbread with sesame seeds. Layer the salad as shown in the photo. Enjoy!
