Asian chicken, mandarin & cashew salad image

Red peppers, vibrant mandarin segments, deep red cabbage and watercress make for a rainbow-coloured dish to dazzle

Provided by Sarah Cook

Categories Dinner

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 ready-roasted chicken
295g can mandarin segment in juice (not syrup)
1 red onion , thinly sliced
1 red pepper , deseeded and cut into chunks
1 fist-sized chunk red cabbage
100g toasted salted cashew
60g watercress , rocket & spinach salad
2 tbsp toasted sesame seed
1 tbsp sesame oil
4 tbsp mandarin juice from the can
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
½ tsp xanthan gum (if you have it)

Steps:

Remove the skin from the chicken and discard, then shred the meat from the bones. Discard the carcass (or freeze for stock or soup another time, see right).
Drain the mandarin segments over a bowl to catch the juice, then whisk together with the sesame oil and vinegar. If you're using xanthan gum, put this in a bowl and, using a small sauce whisk, whisk in 1 tsp of the dressing at a time until you have a smooth, runny paste, then whisk in the remaining dressing.
Layer the shredded chicken, mandarin segments, red onion, pepper, cabbage, salad leaves and sesame seeds in a big salad bowl or on a platter. Pour over the dressing, toss to combine then serve.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use ripe avocados. Look for avocados that are dark green or black and slightly soft to the touch.
If you don't have any plain Greek yogurt on hand, you can substitute sour cream or mayonnaise. However, Greek yogurt is a healthier option and will give your salad a creamier texture.
Feel free to add other ingredients to your salad, such as chopped celery, red onion, or grapes.
If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked chicken. Just be sure to shred it or chop it into small pieces before adding it to the salad.
Serve the salad immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

This cashew avocado chicken salad is a delicious and healthy meal that's perfect for lunch or dinner. It's packed with protein, healthy fats, and vitamins, and it's easy to make.
