MANDARIN TOSSED CHICKEN SALAD WITH CASHEW DRESSING FOR 1
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.

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.

Steps:
- Remove the skin from the chicken and discard, then shred the meat from the bones. Discard the carcass (or freeze for stock or soup another time, see right).
- Drain the mandarin segments over a bowl to catch the juice, then whisk together with the sesame oil and vinegar. If you're using xanthan gum, put this in a bowl and, using a small sauce whisk, whisk in 1 tsp of the dressing at a time until you have a smooth, runny paste, then whisk in the remaining dressing.
- Layer the shredded chicken, mandarin segments, red onion, pepper, cabbage, salad leaves and sesame seeds in a big salad bowl or on a platter. Pour over the dressing, toss to combine then serve.

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.

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.
