1/4 cup fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon grated lime zest
1/2 teaspoon rice vinegar
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into thin strips
2 tablespoons frozen limeade concentrate, thawed
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 head red leaf lettuce - rinsed, dried and torn
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
My husband, also, called this a do-again. I used dried cranberries instead of raisins--the color contrast was very pretty and the lime and cranberry flavors are good together. Loved how easy and pretty this is!
Not bad, but not great. This was more of a light wedding shower type salad. The husband was not impressed. :(

Wow, this salad is fantastic! It's light and tangy and very flavorful. My entire family loved it and my husband declared that it's a "do again" meal. I imagine that it is also good if you chill the chicken for a summertime salad. Thanks Deb for sharing a great recipe.
Light, refreshing, tasty and good for you. This is a wonderful summer eve's salad. The only additions I made were 2cups romaine lettuce, 1/2 cup celery, and 1/2 cup purple onion. Thanks for a great recipe,Deb.
VERY GOOD! I substituted sliced almonds for walnuts because of personal taste and they worked great. I will definitely be making this often.
This salad was wonderful! With such simple ingredients, I was shocked at how good it tasted! The lime was not overpowering, but gave the salad such a wonderful flavor! The only change I made was to use dried cranberries instead of golden raisins. I don't care for them, so I don't ever have any around! I highly recommend this recipe; it is one of the best salads I've ever had!
This was great. I didn't have any limeade concentrate but will try it next time. I toasted the walnuts and sprinkled everything with fresh cilantro. Will definately make again - and often!
I was something different to me and good, we had it for lunch.
