Heat about 1-inch of oil in a pot on the stove to 375 degrees.
Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut wonton skins into 3 strips. You may not need the entire package, depending on how much salad you’re making. I usually use about half.
Test oil by dipping a wonton strip in oil to see if it bubbles up quickly.
Fry wontons a few at a time and set on paper towels to dry. Optional: you can lightly sprinkle fried wontons with sugar. These can be made ahead of time and kept in an airtight container.
To assemble salad, tear clean lettuce into chunks and place in a large salad bowl.
Top with cherry tomatoes, cucumber and red onion.
Add chicken and top with some Sweet Sesame Dressing. Toss salad.
Once everything is coated to your liking, add wonton strips, gently toss and serve.
