Tasty Tuesday Recipe: Asian Chicken Salad

Hi, there!  Welcome to today's recipe.  I decided to try this for the first time because I bought some edamame and wanted a simple and quick way to use it in a salad.  So, without further ado, you get the recipe for my Asian chicken salad!

Asian Chicken Salad

1 serving

2 cups Romaine lettuce

1/2 carrot, shredded

1/4 c edamame, cooked and shelled

1/2 Mandarin oranges

1-2 t slivered (or sliced) almonds

3-4 oz. chicken tenders, cooked and chopped

Chinese five spice (optional)

Dressing

3 servings, 2 T each

2 T orange juice (about half an orange)

2 T rice wine vinegar

1 T tamari or low-sodium soy sauce

1/2 T sesame oil

1/2 T honey

1/2 ginger

Tear lettuce and add to salad bowl.  Add remaining ingredients (if using Chinese five spice, add to chicken while cooking).  Whisk together ingredients for dressing in a bowl.  Top salad with 2 T of dressing.  Enjoy!

**Chinese five spice is in interesting flavor--it can be very potent, so don't add too much.  It's a mix of ground black pepper, cloves, fennel, star anise, and cinnamon.**

**If you don't have a 1/2 T measuring spoon, use 1 1/2 t (1 T=3 t).**
