Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens (such as romaine, cabbage, and spinach)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup green onions, chopped

  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, ginger, garlic, and sesame seeds until well combined.
  3. Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss to coat evenly.
