Instructions

  1. Combine all of the ingredients for the chicken marinade in a resealable freezer bag and add in the chicken. Marinate for an hour or longer if desired.
  2. Grill or bake the chicken until it's cooked through, let it rest 5 minutes, then cut into thin slices.
  3. In a jar or bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients for the vinaigrette and set aside.
  4. In a large serving bowl toss together the lettuce, coleslaw mix, pepper, carrot, green onion, edamame and cilantro.
  5. Top the salad with the mandarin oranges, slices of chicken, cashews and sesame seed. Dress the salad with the vinaigrette or serve on the side.

Notes

  • If you're making this salad ahead of time wait to add the mandarin oranges, cashews and vinaigrette until right before serving to prevent the salad and cashews from getting soggy.
