Chinese Tangerine Chicken Salad

An Oriental-inspired salad-scape.


Because I was suddenly hungry and my son was making chicken nuggets and there were tangerines sitting in front of me and greens and a beautiful red bell pepper in the fridge. Not to mention a bottle of Oriental vinaigrette already made.

This is kind of a melange of all the oriental salads I’ve tried … tangerines or mandarin oranges are divine in an oriental salad … I was kind of wishing I had some chow mein noodles on hand, or some rice noodles I could fry up, but all I had for oriental-style noodles were Ramen noodles so yes, they went into the salad. Raw, crunchy, right out of the package.

Chinese Chicken Tangerine Salad

  • Mixed greens
  • 4 chicken nuggets or leftover cooked chicken, warmed and chopped
  • Chopped onion
  • 2 tangerines
  • Chopped bell pepper
  • Chow mein noodles, crumbled uncooked Ramen noodles, or rice noodles, deep fried till they are crunchy and puffy
  • Toasted almonds (I know, there aren’t any in the picture … I remembered them after the photo shoot!)
  • Oriental vinaigrette salad dressing

Fill the bowl 3/4 of the way with mixed greens. Arrange the other salad ingredients on top and drizzle with the oriental vinaigrette.
