Expert Tips

Six cups of any combination of salad greens can be used instead of the head lettuce and romaine.

Be sure to tear the greens by hand instead of chopping with a knife. A chemical reaction between the greens and the metal knife will cause the edges of the greens to brown.

For Crunchy Chicken Mandarin Salad, make salad as directed. Divide among 6 individual serving plates. Top each serving with a grilled boneless skinless chicken breast, sliced (warm or cold). Sprinkle each salad with 2 tablespoons wide or regular chow mein noodles.

I have been making this recipe for Christmas every year for over 20 years. My husband loves it! I cleaned out my cookbooks awhile back and mistakenly gave away the cookbook that had this recipe. It was great to find it online! Happy Holidays!
