Let's face it: as much as we all love a good old-fashioned Caesar salad, we could stand to shake things up a tad. Well, here comes Mandarin Salad to not just shake things up but to bring on an earthquake! Atop the crunchy bed of lettuce lies shredded savory chicken, juicy and refreshing mandarin oranges, nutty almonds, and crispy ramen noodles. Instead of your typical dressing, the Mandarin Salad provides a tangy, sweet sauce that really sells its Asian fusion influence. This is a salad that is easy, breezy, and incredibly unique, the sort of treat your schedule and your tastebuds deserve!
