We like our main-course salads the way we like our parties: big and never boring. This hearty dinner delivers on both fronts. It starts with a base of spinach and red cabbage–carrot slaw that’s topped with slices of tender chicken. Then, there are juicy mandarin oranges coming in like rays of sunshine on a gray day. To up the crunch factor, homemade candied cashews are sprinkled over the top. As much as we love all these components, we think the best part is our sesame dressing perked up with sweet Thai chili sauce and bright pops of mandarin zest. Just like the best parties, this is a dinner that we never want to end.
