Ingredients

For the Dressing:

3 Tablespoons rice vinegar
2 Tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
1 Tablespoon honey
1 Tablespoon ginger paste
2 cloves garlic minced
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil

For the Salad:

4 cups Napa cabbage shredded
4 cups iceberg lettuce chopped
1 cup carrots shredded
2 cups grilled chicken breast sliced or cubed
11 ounces mandarin oranges drained
4 green onions sliced
1/2 cup slivered almonds
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
1 cup chow mein noodles

Instructions

Whisk the rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, ginger paste, and minced garlic together in a small bowl until smooth.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil and sesame oil while whisking constantly to emulsify the dressing, then set it aside.
Wash and thoroughly dry the Napa cabbage and iceberg lettuce, then chop and shred them before adding them to a large mixing bowl.
Add the shredded carrots to the bowl with the greens and toss them together to distribute evenly.
Slice the grilled chicken into bite-sized strips or cubes and add to the salad.
Add the mandarin oranges, sliced green onions, almonds, and toasted sesame seeds to the salad mixture.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss everything together until the greens are evenly coated.
Top the salad with the crunchy Asian-style noodles just before serving so they stay crisp. Enjoy!
