For an extra layer of flavor, toast the walnuts lightly in a dry skillet before adding them to the salad. If you prefer a less sweet dressing, reduce the amount of sugar to 2 tablespoons. Feel free to substitute other types of lettuce, such as romaine or butter lettuce. This salad is also delicious with grilled chicken or shrimp.

Bright, zesty, and utterly refreshing, this salad elevates simple chicken to a symphony of citrusy flavors. Tender chicken strips, kissed with lime, mingle with crisp lettuce, sweet mandarin oranges, chewy raisins, and crunchy walnuts, all harmonized by a vibrant lime dressing.

01 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Dressing (5 minutes): In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the lime juice, sugar, lime zest, rice vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Seal the jar and shake vigorously until the sugar is completely dissolved and the dressing is emulsified. Set aside.
02 Step
Recipe View Marinate the Chicken (2 minutes): In a small bowl, combine the chicken strips with the thawed limeade concentrate and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly, allowing the chicken to marinate briefly while you prepare the other ingredients.
03 Step
Recipe View Cook the Chicken (6-8 minutes): Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the marinated chicken to the skillet in a single layer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink inside and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. This should take approximately 4 to 6 minutes.
04 Step
Recipe View Assemble the Salads (5 minutes): Divide the torn red leaf lettuce evenly among four salad plates. Arrange the drained mandarin orange segments, golden raisins, and chopped walnuts over the lettuce. Top each salad with the cooked lime-marinated chicken strips. Drizzle generously with the prepared lime dressing. Serve immediately and enjoy!
