Mandarin Orange Chicken Tossed Salad image

From Light & Tasty magazine...submitted by R. Heimerl. I love - just love - this salad! I've served it many times for lunch buddies! The dressing is what makes this dish! I hope you enjoy it too! **Time: allow 1-2 hours of time to marinate chicken and then afterwards another 1-2 hours to chill chicken after cooking. I like to cook the chicken the day before so the salad itself is easy to throw together.***

This salad was a bit too heavy for my taste. I think it would have been better with less chicken or more salad.

I had a hard time finding mandarin oranges, so I used canned mandarin oranges instead. The salad still turned out good, but I think it would have been better with fresh oranges.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, it was a good salad.
