Chinese Mandarin Salad With Grilled Chicken & Sesame Dressing

Created by MistyNix on January 31, 2015

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (cooked on the grilled then cubed or sliced, about 4 breasts)
1 large head chopped iceberg lettuce
4 cups chopped red leaf lettuce
2 mandarin orange (peeled and divided in wedges)
2 cups chow mein noodles (the dry kind that you don't need to cook)
1/2 cup sliced almonds (roasted)
SESAME DRESSING
1/2 cup corn syrup
3 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons pineapple juice
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon light brown sugar

FOR THE DRESSING
Step 1: Combine all the dressing ingredients except the vegetable oil and sesame seeds in a blender on high speed. Slowly add the oil to mixture through the hole in the lid – it will thicken and create an emulsion. Add the sesame seeds and blend for just a couple of seconds. Pour the dressing into a container (such as a dressing cruet), cover, and chill until needed.
TO BUILD THE SALAD
Step 2: Arrange iceberg lettuce in the bottom of a large salad bowl or on a plate, then the red leaf lettuce on top of the iceberg lettuce. Sprinkle the cooked chicken pieces alternately with mandarin orange wedges over.
Step 3: Next, sprinkle chow mein noodles, then last, the roasted sliced almonds on top of each salad.
Step 4: Add the desired amount of sesame dressing and serve.
