Chinese Chicken Mandarin Salad

This Chinese chicken salad is fresh and full of crunchy ramen, sweet mandarins, and crisp cabbage. It's our favorite salad to bring along to any potluck and what we make when we need an easy lunch. Of all our chicken salad recipes, this is at the top of our list. 

When it comes to the noodles, buy the cheap, dried stuff—not the fresh noodles that come refrigerated. Broken up, the crunchy, wavy noodles act as croutons. The almonds can be easily swapped for cashews or roasted peanuts. Leftover rotisserie chicken works wonderfully for this recipe, but if you have chicken breasts on hand, follow our easy guide to poaching chicken.
