Instructions
To prepare dressing:
- Add all ingredients to a jar with a tight lid and shake until completely combined. Refrigerate for up to 1 week.
To prepare salad:
- In a large bowl, toss together chicken, celery, lettuce, bell peppers, onions, and oranges.
- Add enough of the dressing to lightly coat. Chill, covered, for up to 2 hours (or serve immediately).
- When ready to serve, divide evenly between four plates and garnish with cashews and chow mein noodles.
Notes
- For a lighter salad, try decreasing the amount of cashews and chow mein noodles that you use on top. You can also cut the dressing to 1 tablespoon per serving.
