Chinese Mandarin Orange Chicken Salad
Definitely a favorite of mine, this Chinese mandarin orange chicken salad is a lightly and tasty treat anytime of the week. The key is to add the crushed ramen noodles just before serving. This prevents them from getting soggy.
Ingredients
3 cups chopped iceberg lettuce
2 cups finely shredded red cabbage
2 cups shredded chicken
1 can mandarin oranges (10.5 oz), drained
1 pkg ramen noodles (noodles only crushed)
3 carrots, peeled and shredded
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1/3 cup sliced almonds
For the Dressing:
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp hoisin sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp minced ginger
2 tsp minced garlic
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
1
To assemble the salad, in a large bowl combine the chopped iceberg lettuce, shredded cabbage, shredded red cabbage, mandarin oranges, crushed ramon noodles, shredded carrots, chopped green onions, sliced almonds. Toss everything together to combine.
2

3
