CRAB SALAD IN CRISP WONTON CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Coat two min-muffin tins with cooking spray.
• To make the wonton cups, brush both sides of the wonton wrappers with the canola oil and place each wrapper into a section of a mini-muffin tin.
• Gently press each wrapper into the tin and arrange so that it forms a cup shape.
• The wrapper will stick up out of the cup.
• Sprinkle with the salt and bake until browned and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Allow the cups to cool, then remove from the tin.
• These can be prepared the day before and stored at room temperature in an airtight container.
• To make the dressing, whisk together the lime juice and zest, the salt, black pepper, and red pepper.
• Add the olive oil and whisk until well combined.
• To make the salad, in a medium bowl, gently toss together the crabmeat, celery, mango, scallions, and cilantro, trying not to break up the crab too much.
• Add the dressing and gently toss to combine.
• This can be prepared the day before and stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
• Fill each cup with the crab salad and serve immediately.

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.

WONTON TACO SALAD CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and spray a 24-cup mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
• Delicately press the wonton skins into the mini muffin tin, being sure to make the base of the wonton skin is flat (this will ensure that the taco cup will stand flat when you remove them from the pan). Spray the wontons lightly with nonstick cooking spray and transfer them to the oven to bake until they are golden brown and crisp, 7 to 10 minutes.
• In the meantime, heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add in the onion and sauté until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add in the garlic and stir to combine. Add in the turkey, breaking up with a wooden spoon. Next add in the chili powder, cumin, dried oregano, smoked paprika, and salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the turkey is cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes.
• To assemble, keep the taco cups in the mini muffin tin (this will help with any unstable taco cups). Add a little cheese to each of the taco cups, then top them with the ground turkey mixture. Next add your desired toppings such as shredded lettuce, diced avocado, salsa, sour cream, pickled jalapeños, and chopped cilantro.
• Transfer the taco cups to a platter and serve.
