Mandarin chicken salad
Fruity, nutty, protein-rich with just enough carbs in the form of croutons, this filling salad is a one bowl meal.
Servings 4 people
Ingredients

- roasted sesame salad dressing (available in Asian groceries)
- 4 cups torn lettuce

- 2 cups croutons
- 1 ½ cups mandarin orange segments well drained if using canned
- ½ cup roasted cashew nuts
