This main dish salad makes a nice cold lunch or dinner on a hot summer day. It is also "pretty" enough to serve to company!

Ingredients
  • 5 cups cooked, cubed chicken breasts (see note)
  • 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 Tablespoons orange juice
  • 2 Tablespoons vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups cooked rice
  • 1-1/2 cups chopped celery
  • 1-1/2 cups small red or green grapes
  • one 13 oz. can pineapple tidbits (less if desired), well drained
  • one 15 oz. can mandarin oranges (more, if desired), well drained
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds
  • 1-1/2 cups mayonnaise

Directions
  1. In a large bowl, combine chicken, oil, orange juice, vinegar, and salt. Cover tightly and marinate overnight. DO NOT DRAIN!
  2. Stir in rice, celery, grapes, pineapple, mandarin oranges, almonds, and mayonnaise.
  3. Cover and refrigerate several hours until ready to serve.
  4. Note: You can easily use leftover chicken in this recipe. For easier prep, I usually buy the frozen, cooked, cubed chicken meat from Schwan's and measure out the amount needed. If you do that, be sure to thaw the chicken first! Recipe is easily halved.

This was delicious! The marinated chicken is AWESOME! I made this and put them in lettuce cups and it was perfect. I took a picture but didn't post it only b/c I didn't use the rice and I don't want to put a pic. up that's not true to the recipe. Would be great with the rice though I'm sure! Thanks Best for the great recipe!
