Asian Chicken Salad Wonton Nachos a Riff on Classic Nachos

These Asian nachos are definitely lighter, than my sheet pan Loaded Nachos Supreme, but they’re packed with flavor all the same. They were a hit from the get-go. When people assemble their own appetizers it’s a great way to get them involved in the party preparations, and it’s a terrific way to get conversations started, too. Not to mention, the host or hostess doesn’t have to worry about anything becoming soggy before serving to their special guests. Other recipes using wontons that I love to make are my Cheesy Dijon Sausage Cups and Beef Taco Cups perfect for parties. You may also love this recipe for Wonton Soup from Skinnytaste.

Tips for Making Wonton Nachos:

• A packaged Asian Salad Mix found in the produce department is a terrific shortcut for the salad in this dish.
• You can also double the dressing, and serve half on the side for those who would like an extra drizzle on their wonton nachos.
• If you need to prepare the salad in advance, prepare per the recipe placing the dressing in the bottom of the bowl with the remaining ingredients then cover and chill. Don’t toss. Toss together 30 minutes before serving.
• The beauty of these is they are able to be fully assembled by the eater so, set-up a toppings bar and let people mingle around the table to create their own.
• I recommend sour cream, peanuts, cilantro and green onion for toppings but, the sky’s the limit.
• Bake the wonton wrappers up to one day in advance and keep in an airtight container at room temperature until serving.
• The wrappers can be re-crisped in a 375°F oven for a few minutes, if needed.
