Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups diced cooked chicken (see directions)
1 cup diced celery
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced onion
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 cup green seedless grape
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
1 (2 ounce) package slivered almonds, toasted
1 leaf lettuce
additional mandarin orange section (optional)
clusters green grape (optional)

Steps:

  • I recommend baked chicken for the salad. Heat oven to 350 degrees - sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper, then after it's cooled a bit, chop chicken and sprinkle with olive oil (if I have chicken with skin, I skip the oil). Bake until done then after it's cooled a bit, chop chicken.
  • After you have cooked the chicken, combine the first 5 ingredients; stir well. Cover and chill.
  • Add mayonnaise, grapes, oranges, and almonds to chicken mixture; toss well. Serve on lettuce. Garnish with additional orange slices and grape clusters, if desired. Yield: 6 servings.

I'm not a fan of almonds, so I substituted chopped walnuts in the dressing. It was still delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt in the dressing instead. It was just as delicious and it made the salad a bit healthier.

This salad was so easy to make and it tasted delicious. I used a rotisserie chicken to save time, and it worked out perfectly. The dressing was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy.

This mandarin chicken salad was a hit at my last potluck! The dressing was tangy and sweet, and the chicken was perfectly cooked. I'll definitely be making this again.
