My oldest daughter loves sweet salads, especially the kind that have fruit in them, so one of her favorite salads to make in the summer is a Mandarin Chicken Salad.
This salad has two fruits, grapes and mandarin oranges, which go really well with the chicken. It also has a honey-sweetened dressing with a touch of lemon which gives it a nice flavor. This dressing can be a little sloppy compared to some mayonnaise-based dressings but that’s okay. We like sloppy. 🙂
This Mandarin Chicken Salad is gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free for people who need any of those options.
