    I love chicken salad on the sweeter side. Perhaps with some fruit like grapes, apples or my favorite, pineapple. I’ve had a small can of mandarin oranges glaring at my from the cupboard…as if it says, what are you going to do with me?

    Put you into an Asian chicken salad, of course!

      I have to reply…This sounds yummy, sans peanuts. But, yes, there is a but, I have to laugh. My family and I think it’s hilarious that all someone has to do to make something “asian” is add mandarin oranges and nuts (peanuts or almonds). I’m half korean, which is probably why I think this is hilarious. I’m not void of my ethnic ignorance, either. I proudly wear my Kanji symbols as my badge of ignorance. I really have no idea what they mean, just what the poster on the wall says they mean…

      This looks delicious! I’ve never thought to put mandarin oranges in chicken salad–will have to do. And I guess the pampered chef baker is going to have to go on my Christmas list!

      oh my gosh, this sounds yummalicious – perhaps I’ll add a couple of chopped walnuts for my chixies’ crunch preference?

      Looks tasty! My husband is the vegetarian but chicken salad has sounded really good lately. I may have to try this for lunch, just for me sometime soon.
