A Colorful Splash

Credit: Will Dickey

Mandarin orange varieties like Clementines and Satsumas are typically eaten out of hand or canned for use in fruit salads. But they're just as welcome in savory sauces, salads, salsas, and even ice cream pies. Open a can and enjoy.

Crispy Sesame Salad Stack

Crispy Sesame Salad Stack Recipe

It may look like an architectural masterpiece, but this Asian salad is easy to pull off. Store-bought wonton skins sprinkled with sesame seeds are oven roasted to form crisp layers. Packaged salad greens, cashews, green onions, and mandarins tossed with an orange-soy vinaigrette make the crispy filling.

Best-Ever Chinese Chicken Salad

Credit: Thomas J. Story

Best-Ever Chinese Chicken Salad Recipe

It's hard to believe, but Chinese-Chicken salad gets even tastier with the addition of asparagus, avocado, and fresh mandarin oranges. If you can't find fresh mandarins, substitute the canned variety. And if time is short, substitute canned chow mein noodles for the pan-fried wontons.

Mandarin Cream Delight Recipe

A simple dessert for pot lucks, this tropical delight is made in three parts. First, a sugar cookie-style crust bakes to form the bottom layer. Top the crisp crust with a fluffy sweet concoction of sour cream, mandarin oranges and instant pudding, then crown with a whipped topping cloud.

Orange Cream Pie

Orange Cream Pie Recipe

Pick your favorite vanilla ice cream and beat in canned mandarin orange sections for a sweet-tart filling housed in a prepared graham cracker crust. If your family prefers sweet pie fillings over tart, stir in a little well-drained crushed pineapple to sweeten things up.
