Mandarin Orange Chicken Tossed Salad

"From Light & Tasty magazine...submitted by R. Heimerl. I love - just love - this salad! I've served it many times for lunch buddies! The dressing is what makes this dish! I hope you enjoy it too! **Time: allow 1-2 hours of time to marinate chicken and then afterwards another 1-2 hours to chill chicken after cooking. I like to cook the chicken the day before so the salad itself is easy to throw together.***"

  1. LOVE IT! I didn't have any teriyaki sauce so I mixed up a little marinade myself- olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and pineapple juice. It turned out really good and I have made it a couple of times. I am going to make it tonight actually.
     
  2. What a wonderful salad. I followed your advice and made the chicken the day before. Imagine my surprise when I got home from work and started making my salad only to find out that my DBF took the chicken to work for lunch! The salad was wonderful even without the chicken because the dressing is so flavorful and the orange, almonds, and onions offer a variety of textures and crunch. Made this to thank our dear PAC Host HQ!
