Ingredients

  • 1 head green cabbage, chopped thin
  • 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1 rotisserie chicken, meat shredded
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds (I buy these pre-sliced but you can chop your own as well)
  • 1 bunch green onions, diced
  • 1 cup mandarin oranges (be sure to buy the mandarin oranges in juice, not in syrup - you will use some of the juice in the dressing)
  • 2 packages ramen noodles, crushed

Sesame Dressing

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup mandarin orange juice

Instructions

Salad

  • This salad starts off pretty big before the dressing goes on, so use a very large bowl. Once it's all mixed it will come down a bit, but it's a giant salad. Trust me though, you'll want it big! It saves well and tastes great leftover. However, you can halve the recipe if you need to.
  • In a very large bowl, combine the chopped cabbage, chopped romaine, shredded chicken, diced carrots and green onions, and sliced almonds,
  • Top with the crushed ramen noodles.
  • Separately, mix all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl or in a jar with a lid. Whisk or shake to mix. Mix until it's full incorporated and the sugar has dissolved into the dressing.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and mix well, to be sure all the ingredients come together.
  • Serve immediately. Enjoy!
  • Storage: This salad stores great in an airtight container in the fridge. You can even add more lettuce the next day to keep it going a little longer.
