How to Prepare Sesame-Ginger Chopped Salad With Crispy Wonton Strips [Vegan]

To make the sesame-ginger dressing, combine the ginger, garlic, vinegar, olive oil, sesame oil, agave, and salt in a blender or food processor. Blend on high speed until the dressing is smooth. Season with additional salt, if desired.
To make the wonton strips, heat the oil in a medium pot until it reaches 360°F to 370°F. Fry the wonton strips for about 15 seconds, or until golden brown, in three or four batches. Transfer the wonton strips to a plate lined with papers towels to drain. Season them immediately with salt.
To make the salad, combine the romaine lettuce, napa cabbage, carrots, cucumber, scallions, sesame seeds, and a couple of handfuls of the crispy wonton strips in a medium bowl. Add 4 tablespoons of the dressing and toss to coat the salad.
Divide the salad between serving bowls and top each serving with sliced mandarin orange, extra wonton strips, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Serve the salad with extra dressing.
