    MMMMM------------------FAT-FREE ASIAN DRESSING-----------------------

    1 tb White vinegar
    1/2 ts Soy sauce
    1 ts Salt
    1/4 ts Garlic powder
    1/4 ts Ground black pepper
    1/4 ts Paprika
    8 c Romaine lettuce; chopped
    8 c Iceberg lettuce; chopped

    As the seasons change so does the menu, at this popular 1064-unit
    casual restaurant chain. You'll find this item in the Low-Fat and
    Fabulous column during the summer months where it's been a favorite
    since 1997. As with any salad, the waistline violator is the
    traditionally fat-filled dressing that's drizzled in gobs over the
    top of very healthy greens (1 tb of dressing is usually around 10 to
    12 g of fat each). So if we can just figure out a cool way to make
    the dressing fat-free, we're well on our way to making huge
    salad--four of them to be exact--with only 12 g of fat on the entire
    plate. Most of those grams come from the chicken breast, while the
    crunchy chow mein noodles pick up the rest. Just be sure to plan
    ahead when you make this one. The chicken should marinate for a few
    hours if you want it to taste like the original. Get ready for some
    big, meal-size salads.

    Combine teriyaki marinade and chicken breasts in a medium bowl or
    resealable plastic bag. Marinate chicken for 3 to 4 hours.

    Prepare the dressing by combining all of the ingredients in a small
    saucepan over medium heat. Bring mixture to a rolling boil while
    stirring often with a whisk, then remove the pan from the heat to
    cool. When dressing has cooled, pour it into a covered container and
    chill.

    When chicken breasts have marinated, preheat barbecue grill to high
    heat. Grill chicken for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until done.

    Combine the romaine and iceberg lettuce, red and green cabbage and 1
    cup of shredded carrots in a large bowl with the dressing. Toss well.

    Divide the tossed greens among four plates. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of green
    onions over each salad, followed by 1/3 cup of crispy chow mein
    noodles.

    When the chicken breasts are done, slice each one, widthwise, into
    bite-size pieces. Sprinkle the sliced chicken breasts over each salad.

    Place a 1/4 cup pile of shredded carrots in the center of each salad.
