Mandarin Orange Chinese Chicken Salad

Mandarin Orange Chinese Chicken Salad

INGREDIENTS

6 cups shredded cabbage (or a bag of slaw mix)

3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cut into bite-sized pieces

1/2 cup celery, thinly sliced

1 cup mandarin orange segments

1/2 cup sliced almonds

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

1 packet instant ramen noodles, crushed (minus the flavoring packet)

1/2-1 cup Asian dressing (I used Skinny Girl Asian Sesame Ginger dressing which was perfect for the salad)

DIRECTIONS

Combine all ingredients in a large serving bowl. Toss with dressing. Chill before serving. Refrigerate any leftovers (we didn’t have any!).

Note: Rotisserie chicken works great for this and would have been my preference if the grocery store had had any the day I bought the ingredients. I couldn’t find a regular packet if instant ramen noodles and used the soup variety, shaking out most of the powdered flavoring before using. If you shred your own cabbage, add one large shredded carrot (about 1/4 cup). You can also add 1/2 cup of sliced green onions if you like onions.
