BASIL PEACH SALAD DRESSING.

Steps:

• Mix together all of the ingredients except the peach.
• Peel the skin off the peach by putting it in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then dunk it in cool water.
• Slice the fruit, and mash it together to make a kind of paste. If you want a less chunky texture you can do this in a food processor or blender. I just squished it with a fork.
• Mix the vinaigrette mixture into the peach until well combined and use as a salad dressing. :).

CRISPY WONTON CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Make the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sesame oil, peach preserves, mayonnaise, soy sauce, chili powder and onion powder, and season to taste with salt.
• Prepare the salad: Add the chicken to the dressing and toss.
• To fry the wonton wrappers, cut the squares into 1/2-inch strips, then cut those strips in half crosswise to shorten them. In a medium saucepan, heat an inch of oil over medium to 350 degrees, or until a wonton strip immediately bubbles when added. Carefully add the wonton strips to the hot oil and, stirring constantly with a slotted spoon, fry until puffy and golden, 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Transfer the crispy wontons to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt.
• Assemble the salad: Add the chopped romaine, scallions, cilantro, mint and half of the fried wontons to the bowl with the dressed chicken, and toss to combine. Season with salt as needed. Top with the remaining fried wontons and serve immediately.
