Mandarin Orange Chicken Salad recipe is Paleo/Whole30. With sweet mandarins and crisp veggies, drizzled in a unbelievably delicious Asian peanut sauce.
In a large salad mixing bowl, add ingredients from cabbage to almonds.
Drizzle the salad dressing over the salad bowl. Toss and incorporate well. Season with salt to taste. Place the mandarin oranges on top. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds, if using. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.
Notes
Tatsoi is a type of Asian baby greens. The texture is similar to baby spinach and it tastes milder than bok choy. Feel free to substitute with more green cabbage or carrots.Radicchio tastes slightly more bitter than purple cabbage. The bitter flavor balances really well with the sweet almond butter made “peanut” sauce.Use grilled teriyaki chicken, baked chicken meatballs, or add cooked shrimp to create variety!
