Asian Chicken Salad

Enjoy a five-star dish with every spoonful of this Asian Chicken Salad!

Asian Chicken Salad

Are you looking for that fancy Asian Chicken Salad you might’ve eaten before (or always wanted to try) but were too afraid to have it again because of the expense?

Guess what? There’s a way you can make this salad for much less! Make no mistake — the taste of Asian Chicken Salad is far from cheap, but with this recipe, you’ll get more bang for your buck and enjoy putting your own homemade spin on it!

As its name suggests, chicken is the star of the show in this Asian Chicken Salad. Marinated in Asian toasted sesame dressing, the chicken will have a combination of sweet, nutty, and smoky flavors, making for an absolutely unique experience the moment you taste it. Adding to the feel of the salad are the tender touch of orange slices. Juicy, sweet, and tart all at once, mandarin oranges give a burst of flavor that perfectly complements the chicken. Tomatoes further enrich the softness and juiciness of the dish.

Acting as a contrast is the crunchiness of shredded carrots, scallions, onions, and chopped celery stalks. Carrots have that touch of sweetness alongside the crisp romaine lettuce, but the rest of the crunchy group fall on the slightly spicy and salty side of the spectrum.

With the alternating textures of this salad, your palate is in for a delightful treat! As the contrasting textures play together, you’ll be able to appreciate how each ingredient combines into a harmonious whole. The best part is that it’s all homemade but has all the fanciness of a restaurant’s chicken salad! With your very own Asian Chicken Salad, you’ll feel like you’re in a five-star place without breaking the bank!
