Branching Out

I've decided to start branching out from our typically repetative dinner menu and try something new each week. For dinner tonight... Oriental Chicken Salad! And this was an excellent choice! We love hearty salads and this had the perfect amount of everything! I added mandarin oranges to the mix for a little sweetness and it turned out great! It makes a large size salad which is nice since we both work there will be left overs for lunch tomorrow. Who knows what the next venture will be....? If you have any good recipes, anything at all, please share!

ORIENTAL CHICKEN SALAD

4 C shredded cabbage

4 C shredded iceberg lettuce

1/2 C green onion, chopped
