Preparation

  • If you haven't cooked your chicken yet, boil or grill it until fully cooked, then shred it into bite-sized pieces.
  • Rinse and chop the mixed greens, shred the carrots, and slice the bell pepper and cucumbers.

Mixing the Dressing

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assembling the Salad

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mixed greens, carrots, bell pepper, and cucumbers.
  • Drizzle about half of the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Serving

  • Sprinkle the sliced almonds or crispy wontons on top for an added crunch, and drizzle with the remaining dressing if desired.

Notes

For meal prep, keep the dressing separate until you're ready to eat to maintain the crunchiness of the vegetables. Feel free to customize the ingredients based on what's in season. Consider substituting chicken with tofu or shrimp for delicious variations.
