Ingredients for the Chinese Chicken Salad Dressing:
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp dried basil
few cracks black pepper
1 tsp honey
1 tsp soy sauce
2 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp Sriracha
2 tsp dijon mustard
4 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar

OK! Let’s put that Chinese Laundry List together!

Make the dressing first, so the ingredients have time to blend together for best flavor.
In a jar with a tight fitting lid combine garlic powder, dried parsley, dried basil, black pepper, honey, soy sauce, dijon mustard, Sriracha, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar and olive oil. Shake well and set aside.
