Oriental Chicken Salad

When I was in college we used to go to Applebees ALLLLL the time. My favorite was their oriental chicken salad, so I came up with a copycat recipe that is dairy free, gluten free and healthy! I’m mainly loving the dressing...which I’ve also repurposed on some other bowls. Its sweet and tangy and perfect on soy sauce veggies too.

🌿Dressing Ingredients

3 tbsp honey

1 1/2 tbsp rice wine vinegar

1/4 cup lite mayonnaise @hellmannsmayonnaise

1 tsp dijon mustard

1/8 tsp sesame oil

1 tablespoon lime juice

2 cups romaine lettuce chopped

1 large carrot

1/4 cup cucumber chopped

3 tbsp sliced cashews

1/2 can of mandarin oranges

🌿Directions

1. Mix together all dressing ingredients and refrigerate until ready to serve.

2. Slice up carrot for fries, coat with 1/4 tablespoon of sesame oil and cook in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes until crispy.

3. Along with the carrots, air fry the chicken tenders until crispy.

4. Slice lettuce, add to bowl. Top with sliced cashews, mandarin oranges, diced cucumbers, carrots.
