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 made this salad with green pepper instead of celery and the flavors were amazing! This will be a new addition to our dinner rotation as a side or a main meal with grilled chicken. I think avocado would be delicious in this salad as well!

This salad tasted amazing. I really loved the dressing and it was perfect for summer. My only trouble was making the sugared almond slivers. I ended up with a big burnt mess and the sugar never melted. I stirred the whole time without stopping. Any suggestions?
