I always get rave reviews when I serve this simple salad with a zesty poppy seed dressing! I often don't use the full amount of dressing, as I prefer less.

MANDARIN ORIENTAL SALAD



Mandarin Oriental Salad image

I have been making this salad for at least 25 years. I think I got it from my friend, Cloetta. We served it at a church party for over 150. I like to make this the day before and refrigerate, individually, in ziploc bags. When we are ready to eat mix together. (Add chow mein noodles last if desired. I don't use them at all)
