Orange Chicken Salad

I mentioned before that I've been trying to find recipes for things that aren't desserts, in the hope of having more variety than fish sticks and my ginger chicken when I leave my mom and dad's house. It has not been going as well as I hoped.

Still, this recipe was something that my mom enjoyed, so I wrote a blog post for it despite not really liking it myself. I'll admit, the vinegar in the dressing was a little too much for me, but it looks really nice.

RECIPE

- 1/2 cup orange marmalade
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 4 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/8 teaspoon ginger
- 1/2 head iceberg lettuce
- 1 small can mandarin oranges, drained
- Cooked chicken or turkey pieces (I used leftover chicken from a few days earlier)

Blend the marmalade, soy sauce, vinegar, and ginger in a saucepan.

Heat until marmalade melts.

Let it cool.

Mix the lettuce, meat, and oranges in a bowl.

Serve with the marmalade dressing.



It's a way to use leftovers, which is something I'm sure everyone needs to know. I think I prefer to use Ranch without the oranges, but my mom did recommend it for family. Maybe I'll make it with turkey for Thanksgiving next year.
