Our weekend was pretty low-key, mostly relaxing and hanging with family. We tried to go to a movie Friday night but that ended quickly when Vin slipped and fell out of his car (don’t worry, he’s ok!) and threw his keys. The weather here was pretty crappy, rainy and icy, hence the slipping. We spent about 30 minutes looking for them… in the rain…until Vin finally found them…on top of the car. We missed the movie, but tcby was on the way home so it ended up being a pretty good night!

Ya know what else ended up being pretty good? This Asian Chopped Salad. Crunchy, sweet, tangy and down right satisfying.

Fresh chicken and vegetable salad with mandarin oranges, cilantro, and peanuts, served with a tangy dressing, perfect for healthy eating and meal prep from Stuck On Sweet.

 

So easy to put together, too. The hardest part is cooking up the chicken. The rest is simply chopping, mixing and well, finally eating.

Bright and colorful chicken salad with mandarin oranges, shredded cabbage, carrots, peanuts, and fresh cilantro served in a white bowl. Perfect for a light, healthy meal or lunch.

There are tons of yummy fresh ingredients in this salad like purple and green cabbage, shredded carrots, green onion, cilantro, and lime juice. My favorite part of the salad?  The mandarin oranges. I love that burst of sweet flavor. Pineapple would also go really well in this salad.

If you don’t have the ingredients to make the dressing, not to worry. A store-bought dressing would work just fine. It’s not one of those salads where you want to douse the freshness with a ton of dressing anyway.

You do want to douse it with mandarin oranges though!
