Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup corn syrup (or Maple syrup)
3 tablespoons white distilled vinegar
2 tablespoons pineapple juice (or orange juice)
4 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce

1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon paprika
dash ground black pepper
1/2 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare dressing by combining all dressing ingredients except vegetable oil and sesame seeds in a blender on high speed. Slowly add oil to mixture (to create an emulsion). Add sesame seeds and blend for just a couple seconds. Pour dressing into a covered container (such as a dressing cruet) and chill until needed. 2. Rub each chicken breast fillet with oil, then lightly salt and pepper each piece. Grill on medium/high heat until done. Chill chicken breasts in refrigerator until cold. 3. When chicken is cold, build each salad by first arranging about 4 cups of iceberg lettuce in the bottom of a large salad bowl or on a plate. 4. Arrange a cup of red leaf lettuce on the iceberg lettuce. 5. Dice each chicken breast into bite-size pieces and sprinkle the pieces from each one over each salad. 6. Arrange about 1/3 cup of mandarin orange wedges on each salad. 7. Next, sprinkle about 1/4 cup of rice noodles and 1/4 cup of roasted sliced almonds on top of each salad. 8. Add desired amount of sesame dressing and serve.

This salad was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland and the chicken was dry. I think I'll stick to my usual salad recipe.

This salad was a breeze to make and was so delicious! I used a rotisserie chicken for convenience, but I'm sure it would be even better with freshly cooked chicken. The dressing is amazing - I could drink it!

I've made this salad twice now and it's been a hit both times! It's so refreshing and light, but also filling and satisfying. The mandarin oranges and almonds add a nice sweetness and crunch, and the dressing is the perfect balance of tangy and cream
