MANDARIN TOSSED CHICKEN SALAD WITH CASHEW DRESSING FOR 1



Mandarin Tossed Chicken Salad With Cashew Dressing for 1 image

Well yasee I had this uncooked half chicken breast left from yesterdays experiments. Also the temperature is all ready in the mid 80s and upward bound. A souped up chicken salad seemed like a good idea for a main dish. I use my WOK a lot, particularly when it's hot out. I invented a chopped cashew salad dressing for this sort of thing some time back. It's rather good for fruit type salads . So Here we go, written as I fix it. A lot of my recipes are done this way typing notes into textpad as I work/invent.(Grynn)This is a BIG serving salad main dish or there's enough chicken for 2.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 large b&s chicken breast, cut in about 1 inch bite sized pieces
1/2 tablespoon oil, for woking the chicken
1/2 cup drained mandarin orange segments, usually canned
1 cup mixed greens, the crisper the better,like iceberg or romain,depending on what available
1 hard-boiled egg, diced because i had it to use up (optional)
1/2 cup mild salad oil
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup chopped roasted cashews (I suppose you could use peanuts)
1 pinch salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Fire up the WOK and chow the chicken chunks until cooked through and set aside.
  • Remember this time it will have no additional cooking.
  • If you have cooked chicken use it.
  • A Woolfe Tip, when B&Schicken breasts are cheap, I chunk, WOK, and vac-bag freeze for later use.
  • Put all the dressing ingredients in a blender or small food processor and ZAP until blended.
  • I throw the cashews in as is, as I buy the pieces it's a lot cheaper that way.
  • You can do both the Chicken and dressing ahead of time.
  • Tear up the greens into a bowl.
  • Add the orange segments and cooled chicken.
  • Toss with the dressing.
  • I had this with some torn off bread.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ready-roasted chicken
295g can mandarin segment in juice (not syrup)

  • Drain the mandarin segments over a bowl to catch the juice, then whisk together with the sesame oil and vinegar.

Tips:

  • Prepare the dressing first to allow the flavors to meld while you prepare the salad.
  • For a sweeter dressing, use honey or agave nectar instead of sugar.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the salad, such as shredded carrots, red cabbage, or snap peas.
  • If you don't have mandarin oranges, you can substitute canned or jarred mandarin oranges, drained.
  • If you don't have cashews, you can substitute another type of nut, such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans.
  • Serve the salad immediately so that the dressing doesn't wilt the lettuce.

Conclusion:

This Mandarin Cashew Tossed Salad is a light, refreshing, and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The sweet and tangy dressing is the perfect complement to the crisp lettuce, crunchy cashews, and juicy mandarin oranges. This salad is also very easy to make, making it a great option for a busy weeknight meal.
