About This Recipe:
To be totally clear, there is absolutely nothing “Chinese” about this salad other than a few Asian ingredients in the dressing. However, I do love this random combination of cabbage, edamame, peanuts, and canned mandarin oranges. For the chicken, I like to poach chicken breasts but you can also use rotisserie chicken, grilled chicken, etc. Some variations have bell peppers, crunchy rice noodles, scallions, or cashews, and they all look delicious. The salad itself just requires some chopping and assembling, and the dressing is also a cinch to whisk together.
Enjoy!
