Starburst vs Lovely Fruit Chews
At a recent theater show during intermission, the refreshment stand had a stack of Starburst – the square-shaped fruit flavored soft chewy taffy-like candy – sitting on the counter. Although tempted to purchase a stick of this childhood favorite, one look at the ingredients list made me change my mind and wish there was an alternative.

Filled with chopped cabbage, red bell peppers, carrots, broccoli florets, mandarin oranges, and candied cashews tossed in a Ginger Soy Vinaigrette, the Mandarin Chopped Salad is a showstopper and one of those dishes that made me wish the salad bowl was bottomless. In other words, I had to figure out how to make a version of this salad in my own kitchen. Read more
