Ingredients

Applebee's Oriental Dressing

⅓ cup honey
½ cup mayonnaise
2 tsps Dijon mustard
3 Tbsps rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil See Note 1 for variation

Applebee's Oriental Chicken Salad

4 chicken tenders see Note 1 for variation
4 cups mixed greens
2 cups coleslaw mix (bagged)
¼ cup sliced almonds (I used ½ cup)
⅓ cup chow mein noodles (I skipped these in light of additional almonds)

Instructions

Applebee's Oriental Dressing

Mix all dressing ingredients together and set aside.

Applebee's Oriental Chicken Salad

Bake the chicken strips according to package instructions. (Usually 16-18 minutes at 425℉) Mine were 16 minutes on air fry. Allow tenders to cool.
Mix the salad and cabbage. Divide evenly among 4 plates. Slice tenders thinly and divide evenly among the plates. Top with almond slices and chow mein noodles if using. Drizzle with dressing and serve right away.

Notes

Note 1: Original recipe calls for ¼ cup slice almonds and 4 tenders and ½ teaspoon sesame oil. I increased the tenders to 8 since mine were small and I upped the almonds to ½ cup because I skipped the chow mein noodles and upped the sesame oil from ½ to 1 tsp.
