Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 21

1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup canola oil
1 tsp lemon zest
3 1/2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp peeled and grated ginger
1 clove garlic
1 tsp dijon mustard ((Emeril's is the only way to go))
1/4 - 1/2 tsp salt (, to taste)
12 wonton wrappers (, sliced into 1/2-inch thick strips)
Vegetable oil (, for frying)
Cinnamon
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast (, grilled and sliced)
1 cup sliced almonds (, toasted)
10 oz baby spinach
2 cups snow peas (, sliced into halves)
1 1/2 cups matchstick carrots
1 red bell pepper (, seeded and diced)
1 1/2 (15 oz) cans mandarin oranges (no sugar added), drained well*
1/2 cup cilantro (, stems removed)
Black and white sesame seeds (, for garnish (optional))

Steps:

  • Add all ingredients to a blender and pulse until well emulsified and ginger and garlic are finely minced. Pour into an airtight container and all to rest in refrigerator while preparing salad (shake or stir before adding to salad).
  • Heat about 3/4 to 1-inch of oil in a skillet to 360 degrees (maintain this temperature, reduce heat as needed). Add just enough wonton strips without overcrowding. Fry just until halfway cooked, then using metal tongs (grabbing as many as you can at once) rotate to opposite side and cook until just lightly golden. Remove and drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Immediately sprinkle lightly with cinnamon and salt before they dry.
  • Add all salad ingredients to a large salad bowl and toss. Drizzle with dressing and gently toss. Top each serving with desired amount of wonton strips and optional sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Preparing a perfect Asian chicken mandarin salad with walnuts requires some tips and tricks that will help you achieve that tantalizing taste and overall appearance. Below are some valuable tips that will guide you to make a delicious and hearty Asian chicken mandarin salad with walnuts recipe. Tip 1: Use fresh and high-quality ingredients The freshness and quality of ingredients used in the salad determine the overall taste and nutritional value of the dish. Using fresh and high-quality ingredients makes a significant difference in the final outcome of the recipe. When shopping for your ingredients, make sure you choose fresh and tender chicken breast, ripe and juicy mandarin oranges, and high-quality walnuts. Using fresh ingredients adds a natural flavor and taste to the salad. Tip 2: Marinate the chicken One of the most crucial tips in making a perfect Asian chicken mandarin salad is marinating the chicken. Marinating helps to infuse flavor and tenderize the chicken, making it moist and juicy. To marinate the chicken, mix soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, pepper, and vegetable oil, and coat the chicken in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate the chicken for at least 30 minutes. For the best results, marinate the chicken for up to four hours, or overnight in the fridge. Tip 3: Toast the walnuts Toasting the walnuts before adding them to the salad adds a crunchy texture and an overall nutty flavor to the dish. Toasting the walnuts also gives them a deeper color and makes them more aesthetically pleasing. To toast the walnuts, preheat the oven to 350°F, spread the walnuts on a baking sheet, and bake for 5-7 minutes until they turn golden brown. Tip 4: Use a flavorful Asian dressing The dressing is an essential component of the Asian chicken mandarin salad as it adds flavor and taste to the dish. Using a flavorful Asian dressing that complements the salad ingredients creates a perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors that burst in your mouth. You may make your dressing using ingredients such as soy sauce, vinegar, honey, garlic, ginger, and vegetable oil. Other ingredients such as sesame oil, hoisin sauce, and chili sauce can be added to the dressing to make it more flavorful. Tip 5: Use a variety of salad greens Using a variety of salad greens adds color, texture, and nutrients to the dish. A mixture of salad greens such as spinach, arugula, romaine lettuce, and kale provides a range of flavors, textures, and nutrients that create a visually appealing dish. Using a variety of greens also enhances the nutritional value of the salad. Tip 6: Keep the salad chilled The Asian chicken mandarin salad with walnuts looks and tastes best when served chilled. Ensure that the salad is kept chilled in the fridge before and after serving. This keeps the salad fresh and crunchy, and the flavors are better preserved. To chill the salad, refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving. Tip 7: Add toppings Adding toppings such as sesame seeds, scallions, and chili flakes gives the Asian chicken mandarin salad an extra layer of flavor and texture. These toppings add more color to the dish and enhance the overall visual appeal. Conclusion: Making a perfect Asian chicken mandarin salad with walnuts requires some tips and tricks that enhance the taste, texture, and overall aesthetics of the dish. By using fresh and high-quality ingredients, marinating the chicken, toasting the walnuts, using a flavorful Asian dressing, using a variety of salad greens, keeping the salad chilled, and adding toppings, you can create a delicious and hearty Asian chicken mandarin salad that will leave your taste buds tingling with excitement.
