Salad Ingredients

Marinade Ingredients

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Grilling the Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 5

    Prepare Salad Base

    In a large bowl, combine mixed salad greens, sliced cucumber, sliced red bell pepper, shredded carrot, and chopped green onions.

  2. 6

    Slice the Chicken

    Slice the grilled chicken into strips and add it to the salad.

  3. 7

    Toast Sesame Seeds

    In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Be sure to stir frequently to prevent burning.

  4. 8

    Prepare Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, vegetable oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper until well combined.

  5. 9

    Toss the Salad

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Top the salad with toasted sesame seeds.
