mandarin orange salad

A must try salad recipe! It's layered with tender spinach, protein rich chicken, colorful asian veggies, sweet mandarin oranges, crisp sliced almonds and deliciously seasoned wonton strips.

Mandarin Orange Salad with Chicken and Lemon Ginger Dressing

olive oil

canola oil

lemon

Tbsp lemon juice

Tbsp honey

Tbsp ginger

garlic

mustard

wonton wrappers (,

Vegetable oil (, for frying)

Cinnamon

chicken breast (, grilled and sliced)

almonds (, toasted)

oz baby spinach

snow peas (,

matchstick carrots

red bell pepper (, seeded and diced)

(15 oz) cans mandarin oranges (no sugar added), drained well*

cilantro (, stems removed)

Black and white sesame seeds (,

Add all ingredients to a blender and pulse until well emulsified and ginger and garlic are finely minced. Pour into an airtight container and all to rest in refrigerator while preparing salad (shake or stir before adding to salad).

For the dressing:

Heat about 3/4 to 1-inch of oil in a skillet to 360 degrees (maintain this temperature, reduce heat as needed). Add just enough wonton strips without overcrowding. Fry just until halfway cooked, then using metal tongs (grabbing as many as you can at once) rotate to opposite side and cook until just lightly golden. Remove and drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Immediately sprinkle lightly with cinnamon and salt before they dry.

For the wonton strips:

Add all salad ingredients to a large salad bowl and toss. Drizzle with dressing and gently toss. Top each serving with desired amount of wonton strips and optional sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

For the salad:

Made with tender greens, mandarin oranges, almonds, cranberries, and a citrus dressing, this Mandarin Orange Salad is bright, fresh, and bursting with flavor!

Orange Dreamsicle Salad (Cheesecake Salad Recipe)

cream cheese (softened)

vanilla extract

instant cheesecake pudding mix (unprepared)

orange juice concentrate

heavy whipping cream (divided)

sugar

oranges (drained)

marshmallows

In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and vanilla extract until fluffy.

Add the orange juice concentrate and beat until fully combined.

Add the cheesecake pudding mixture and beat until evenly incorporated (mixture will be slightly chunky).

With the mixer (or hand beater) running on low speed, slowly drizzle 1 ½ cups of the heavy whipping cream into the cream cheese mixture. Beat well between the addition of small amounts (add only a couple tablespoons at a time).

Add powdered sugar to the cheesecake mixture and continue beating until fully combined.

In a separate mixing bowl, beat remaining 1 ½ cups of heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

Use a spatula to gently fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture until fully incorporated.

Add miniature marshmallows and drained mandarin oranges to the cheesecake mixture and fold in gently to combine. (The mandarins break apart easily, so be slow and gentle.)

Transfer mixture to a serving bowl, garnish with reserved mandarins and miniature marshmallows and serve immediately.

Loved this dessert. Found it a little light on orange taste, but the addition of a teaspoon of orange extract cured that.

Meh. This was okay, but didn't taste like a dreamsicle at all, in my opinion. The combination of cheesecake pudding and cream cheese makes it taste more like a cheesecake. If I make it again, I believe I would switch to vanilla pudding.

This really was similar to an orange dreamsicle, very sweet and delicious.
