Making Asian Chicken Crunch Salad is straightforward. Follow these steps for a delicious result:
1. Prepare the Chicken: If you don’t have pre-cooked chicken, grill or sauté the chicken until cooked through. Allow it to cool before shredding.
2. Chop the Vegetables: In a large bowl, add the salad greens, shredded carrots, sliced red cabbage, cucumber, and bell pepper. Make sure to mix well.
3. Add Chicken: Toss the shredded chicken into the bowl with the fresh vegetables.
4. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), sesame oil, minced ginger, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Combine Dressing and Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad and mix well to ensure all ingredients are coated evenly.
6. Add Crunch: Just before serving, sprinkle the crunchy Asian noodles and sesame seeds on top for texture.
7. Chill if Desired: If you prefer a colder salad, let it chill for about 10 minutes before serving.
