Egg Foo Yung Salad

Egg Foo Yung is a Chinese egg omelet with veggies. The name comes from the Cantonese language and means "hibiscus egg." This salad “version” does not come in takeout! Easy to make, a complete meal and a nice change. Enjoy.

1 head romaine lettuce

2-3 cups bean sprouts, washed and drained

1 small can water chestnuts, sliced

2 cups fresh sliced mushrooms

1/2 pepper, diced

2 thinly sliced green onions

6 slices bacon, cooked crispy and crumbled

3 hard cooked eggs, sliced

Dressing:

1/3 cup salad oil

1/4 cup rice vinegar

1 Tbsp. soy sauce

2 Tbsp. sugar

1 tsp. fresh grated ginger

1/4 tsp. pepper

1/2 tsp. salt

Gently combine the salad ingredients in a large bowl. Mix all the dressing ingredients together and chill. Just before serving, pour the dressing over salad.
