Trying to find recipe for Asian Chicken Salad?

My mom made an salad we think is called Crispy Asian Chicken Salad, maybe crunchy. We Think it was from sounthern living but we aren't sure. It has fried chicken, lettuce (obviously), roasted/burned almonds (i think they're almonds, sesame seeds, and those crispy chineese noodles (not romen) and more stuff i forget. She made it around December 08 if that helps you with a magazine hunt. It also has a salad dressing recipe with it.





Thanks,
