Eating healthy doesn't need to be boring, and salads don't need to feel like rabbit food. This chop suey salad is a Chinese-American fusion dish with a tangy dressing, Asian-style vegetables, and succulent chicken.

1 cup sliced ripe olives
1 medium green bell pepper, seeded, cored, and sliced in 1-inch strips
4 cups mixed salad greens
1 cup canned bean sprouts, drained and rinsed
1 can (8 ounce size) sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 cup chopped green onion
3/4 cup chopped celery
1 cup thinly sliced cooked chicken
1 tablespoon mayonnaise or salad dressing
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/3 cup soy sauce
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
Combine the olives, bell pepper, salad greens, bean sprouts, water chestnuts, green onion, celery, and chicken in a large bowl. Toss gently to mix.
In another bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, olive oil, and soy sauce. Mix well then toss the chicken salad mixture with the dressing.
Sprinkle individual servings with the crumbled bacon.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
