    One of my favorite local restaurants has a tangy, sweet, and very spicy Chinese chicken salad. It is loaded with spicy mustard and really clears the sinuses - I just LOVE it! Whenever I cannot get there, making it at home is also delish.

    My favorite recipe is this Chinese Chicken Salad by Carlsbad Cravings. It is colorful, sweet, crunchy, & hearty - I admit I add triple the hot sauce for real heat. I then cool it down with my favorite coconut & pineapple cocktail, Pina Colada on the Rocks.
