Chinese Chicken Salad with Mandarin Lemon Vinaigrette

Chinese Chicken Salad with crunch, tang, and texture, but also the most amazing flavor profile ever! I basically ate the entire bowl myself.Chinese chicken salad with mandarin lemon vinaigrette dressing, a simple and healthy dinner optionYou guys I was really excited to share this video with you, and when I went on my computer to edit the photos for the salad I had created to go with this video, I couldn’t find them! Then I realized I was an idiot and had not taken the photos off the memory card, and had reformatted the card so pictures were gone! Boo. But out of my mistake came this glorious creation. I needed a salad so I could share this video, and so I looked in my fridge, and decided to make this with what I had.

The salad is ridiculously good. And the dressing even better. Guys I used mandarin orange juice. Like the simple syrup that comes in the can of mandarin oranges. It offered a great sweetness to balance out the lemon and give the perfect tang to this salad!
