Mandarin Chicken Salad
November 21st, 2006
I got a very colorful Mandarin chicken salad at the pub this afternoon:
The pub isn’t exactly known for its salads, but this one was excellent. I loved the grilled chicken and the eclectic variety of toppings, especially the Mandarin oranges and the almonds. This salad is also not one that I would usually make for myself at the dining hall, so its a nice change of pace in that sense.
My one complaint is about the lettuce; you can’t see it in the photo, but the lettuce pieces used in the salad are absolutely huge. The cooks use the same lettuce for their sandwiches as they do for salads, which is fine, but they don’t bother to cut up the sandwich-sized lettuce leafs before putting them in the salad. Fixing that simple problem would make this great salad even better.

Wow! For a college student, you do eat very well! Those ingredients are great flavors when mixed together. Cheers!

The mandarin almond chicken salad is indeed amazing – you are very right about the massive pieces of lettuce though. And I was very bummed that they increased the price from 3.95 to 5.75 this fall – it used to be such a great deal!!
