Mandarin Chicken Salad

Submitted by MizzNezz

"If you make this once, you'll be hooked! It really is good. The chicken and sauce, then the crunch of the noodles is a very good combination. I saute (or grill) chicken breasts for this."

This was a fantastic luncheon salad. It was light and refreshing. It had visual appeal, it had nice contrasting ingredients...and best of all we loved it. I especially enjoyed the crunchy texture of the chow mein noodles. Thanks, Miss Nez for another wonderful dining experience.

Really good. Shared with some friends who are not computer literate. Next time I think I'll trade half the mao for plain yogurt to lower the fat content and reduce the calories. Thank you for sharing.

DELICIOUS!Rave reviews from everyone. I wanted this salad to last for 2 meals and thought chow mein noodles would be soggy by meal #2 so I tossed in bean sprouts instead.

My wife loved it, the kids were half and half (but nothing can be devined there), and I thought it needed one more thing to spice it up. I also forgot to add the green peppers. We'll use it with leftover chicken again.

This was great! I was skeptical . . . I mean, olives and oranges in the same bite? But it works! The chow mein noodles definitely add something. A keeper for those hot AZ summer nights.
