Exotic Chicken Salad

Description: I tried this at a bridal shower and just had to get the recipe! It's so simple and delicious. Be sure that you don't add the cashews early- they get a little mushy.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups cooked chicken, cubed
• 1 cup celery, chopped
• 1 cup mandarin orange segments
• 1 cup cashews
• 2 tablespoons salad oil
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise or 1/2 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• 2 tablespoons vinegar
• salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

1. Combine all salad ingredients in bowl, except cashews.
2. Mix all dressing ingredients.
3. Toss salad with dressing.
4. Add cashews immediately before serving.
