Mandarin Chicken Salad
- 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)
- 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.
