Ingredients
-
1/2 cup sliced or slivered almonds
1 can mandarin orange segments, 15 oz, drained
1/2 cup dried shitake mushrooms
4 tbsp hoisin sauce
4 tbsp sesame oil
4 - 6 oz grilled chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, cut into small bite sized pieces.
5 cups fresh spinach (or 2 - 9 oz bags)
Directions
Grill boneless, skinless chicken breasts on preheated indoor grill (or george foreman grill) for about 7-8 minutes until fully cooked through. Set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, drain mandarin oranges. Wash dried shitake mushrooms thoroughly. In a large bowl, combine almonds, mandarin oranges, mushrooms, hoisin sauce and sesame oil and stir to blend well. Let sit for a couple of minutes so mushrooms can soak in liquid.
Cut cooled chicken into bite size pieces. Add chicken to salad mix and stir. Then add spinach and toss well. You can refrigerate leftovers, although the salad will turn into soup - still very yummy.
Makes approximately (6) 1.75-2 cup servings.
Substitions, additions.
You can substitute chopped walnuts or pecans for almonds, although that will change nutrition info.
You can add thin asian baked dried noodles or rice noodles, although that will change nutrition info.
