This salad is a great easy, light summer meal, using a delicious homemade dressing. Serves 2.
Ingredients:
Bag of lettuce – we used one with romaine, iceberg, cabbage, and carrots
1 10.5 ounce container of mandarin oranges
Almond slivers or crushed almonds – just a handful
2 cooked chicken breasts – we grilled ours
Optional : Bacon – I know it sounds weird but Michael added a some diced bacon into the salad randomly and it was really good! Bacon makes everything better.
Dressing:
Juice from can of mandarin oranges
3 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. of sesame oil
1 Tbsp. Coconut Aminos (or Tamari or Soy Sauce)
A little sea salt and pepper
Directions:
Put salad in large salad bowl
Drain mandarin oranges, setting aside juice in a small bowl
Ad mandarin oranges to salad, along with chopped almonds
To bowl with mandarin juice, add rice wine vinger, coconut aminos, salt & pepper
Drizzle in olive oil, whisking it into mixture
Whisk in sesame oil as well
Dice chicken and add to salad
Top with dressing, toss well, and serve!
