You guys haven't let me down before, so what's in La Bou's Oriental
Chicken Salad Dressing?

I'm guessing seasame oil, perhaps soy sauce, maybe honey - but
honestly, I don't have a clue.

Heh! I'm even more clueless than you. I don't know what La Bou is...
commercial salad dressing or a restaurant?

Taking a guess: I'd look up "chinese chicken salad recipe" and go from
there. The first hit goes like this (no reason why honey couldn't
replace sugar):

DRESSING:

1/8 c. sesame oil
1/8 c. salad oil
2 tbsp. sugar
3 tbsp. rice vinegar (if white vinegar, can use less)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper

Thanks for the suggestion. La Bou is a restaurant - more of a nice
sandwich shop, which also has pastries, bread, soup, etc. I love
their Oriental Chicken Salad. It's all about the dressing.

Myrl,
I actually asked them and they showed me the recipe from a book behind the counter! There were too many ingredients to memorize, but maybe they will show you if you ask!!
