Category: Salads - Meat
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

Sesame dressing:
1/2 cup corn syrup
3 tbsp white distilled vinegar
2 tbsp pineapple juice
4 tsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp light brown sugar
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1/4 tsp ground mustard and ground ginger
1/8 tsp. salt and paprika
dash garlic powder and pepper
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 tsp sesame seeds

Mandarin Chicken Salad
4 chicken breast fillets
1 large head iceberg lettuce, chopped
4 cup red leaf lettuce, chopped
1 1/3 cup canned mandarin orange wedges
1 cup rice noodles
1 cup roasted sliced almonds
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.
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.

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. Next, arrange a cup of red leaf lettuce on the iceberg lettuce.

Dice each chicken breast into bite-size pieces and sprinkle the pieces from each one over each salad. Arrange about 1/3 cup of mandarin orange wedges on each salad. Next, sprinkle about 1/4 cup of rice noodles and 1/4 cup of roasted sliced almonds on top of each salad. Add desired amount of sesame dressing and serve. Makes 4 large salads.
