Toasted Sesame Asian Chicken Salad

Toasted Sesame Asian Chicken Salad is a healthy dinner salad recipe full of fresh vegetables, crispy wonton strips and topped with a light homemade dressing.

I am a sucker for a good chicken and fruit lettuce salad. From a fall favorite Harvest Chicken & Apple Salad, to a fresh summer Strawberry & Coconut Cashew Salad, I adore the combination of sweet and savory. Sometimes it is nice to really change up the flavors of your go-to salads though and this Asian Toasted Sesame Chicken Salad really does the trick. It’s a departure from the salad I typically enjoy, but it is oh so good! The combination of crunchy cucumbers, carrots and wontons paired with the shredded chicken dressed in a bold homemade Toasted Sesame Asian Salad Dressing is a healthy and filling dinner salad I love.

Easy Asian Chicken Salad Recipe

The beauty of salads like this Toasted Sesame Asian Chicken Salad, is that it comes together quickly with a few simple ingredients tossed together in an easy and healthy salad. From pre-cooked rotisserie chicken that I buy already prepared and cubed at the grocery store to a bag of mixed lettuce and cabbage and a couple simple vegetables, there is nothing too complex about this recipe. I am all about homemade salad dressings, but you could certainly finish this off with a store bought vinaigrette if you are short on time. You can toss this entire salad together in less time than it would take you to run to Panera to grab an Asian Sesame Chicken Salad!

How to Make Asian Chicken Salad

Once you toast your sesame seeds and assemble the remaining ingredients it is time to assemble this easy salad. You can certainly chop up some fresh cabbage and romaine lettuce yourself, but I prefer to take the easy route and buy the pre-packed bags at the grocery store. Add your greens, chicken and vegetables into a large bowl and toss with the homemade salad dressing. I like to use a bowl with a lid so I can just seal it up and shake the heck out of it.

After all of your veggies and chicken are evenly coated in the salad dressing, top the salad with the crispy wonton strips and a sprinkle of additional toasted sesame seeds. In less than 10 minutes you have a healthy and hearty salad ready to enjoy!
