As the weather begins to change, I start to change my “soup day” to “salad day” each week, and Chinese Chicken Slaw is one of my favorites to add back into the rotation. It’s easy to make and holds over well when there are leftovers. It’s a great all-in-one-meal because of the chicken, but if you are vegetarian, feel free to leave the chicken out. The choice is yours! I love to make this one for potlucks and summer barbeques, because there is no mayo, so no risk of food poisoning.
INGREDIENTS FOR CHINESE CHICKEN SLAW
- 1 (16 oz.) package coleslaw mix
- 1 (15 oz.) can mandarin oranges, rinsed and drained
- 1 package dry ramen noodles
- 4 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cups cooked chicken, sliced or shredded
- 3/4 cup frozen, shelled edamame (soybeans), thawed
- 2/3 cup rice vinegar

Additional optional salad toppings:

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHINESE CHICKEN SLAW
- Combine coleslaw mix, oranges, noodles, green onions, chicken, and edamame in a large bowl.

- Pour dressing over salad mixture and toss together to combine.
