Ingredients

Scale

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded 🍗
4 cups mixed salad greens 🥬
1 cup shredded carrots 🥕
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced 🌶️
2 green onions, sliced 🌱
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped 🌿
2 tbsp sesame seeds 🌰

Instructions

Start by taking a large mixing bowl and combining the mixed salad greens, shredded chicken, shredded carrots, thinly sliced bell pepper, chopped green onions, and cilantro. Toss them gently to ensure an even distribution of all the veggies and chicken.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, and grated ginger. This will create a tangy and flavorful dressing that perfectly complements the fresh ingredients.
Once the dressing is well mixed, pour it over the salad mixture and toss gently. Ensure that all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Before serving, sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of the salad. These add a crunchy texture and enhance the presentation. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for a short while before serving.

Notes

Store any leftover salad without dressing to keep it fresh.
