A Cheater’s Oriental Chicken Salad Recipe {Healthy Mama Week 38}

As I mentioned last week life has been a little crazy and getting back to routine and cooking this week has been so good.  I’ve been in the mood for fresh salads and I came up with this recipe last week which will be on the menu this week too.

A Cheater’s Oriental Chicken Salad

Ingredients

• Taylor Farms Asian Salad Mix
• 2 cups of Romaine, chopped
• 1 can of Mandarin Oranges, drained
• 8 ounces of grilled chicken breast, chopped

Mix all of the ingredients and enjoy!

That’s why I call it “A Cheater’s Oriental Chicken Salad”.  The kit has savoy cabbage, green cabbage, carrots, celery, green onions, cilantro, wonton noodles, sliced toasted almonds, and Sesame Ginger Slaw dressing.  I had initially planned to make an Oriental Chicken salad from a this recipe but when I saw this kit at Sam’s Club I saw an opportunity to save myself some work.  The kit was only $2.48 so I feel like it was more than worth it.

This made a pretty large salad- I would say 3 entree-sized servings of salad.  The total calories for the entire salad was 1255 so divided by 3 means it’s only 418 calories per serving.

Overall we really loved this easy salad and I hope you do too!  Do you have any favorite salad recipes?  I’d love to hear them in the comments below!
