MANDARIN CHICKEN PASTA SALAD



Mandarin Chicken Pasta Salad image

I had this at a party and couldn't get it off my mind. It's a fruity Asian chicken salad that even my family's picky eaters enjoy. I bake my own chicken for more flavor, which adds to the prep time, but pre-cooked or canned chicken will also work just fine.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your pasta salad will be. Look for fresh vegetables, succulent chicken, and a flavorful dressing.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta has a slightly firm bite to it, which will help it hold its shape in the salad. Avoid overcooking the pasta, as this will make it mushy.
  • Shred the chicken finely: This will help the chicken to absorb the flavors of the dressing and vegetables. You can use a food processor or a sharp knife to shred the chicken.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: This will give the flavors time to meld together. You can make the dressing up to 24 hours in advance.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to develop and the pasta to firm up. Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Chinese chicken pasta salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck.
