Creating your Thai Chicken Salad is simple and enjoyable. Follow these steps for a delicious outcome:

1. Cook the Chicken: If you haven’t done so already, cook the chicken. You can grill, poach, or roast it. Once cooked, allow it to cool and then shred or dice it.
2. Prepare the Greens: In a large salad bowl, place the mixed greens as the base for your salad.
3. Add Vegetables: Layer on the shredded red cabbage, julienned carrots, sliced bell peppers, and cucumbers over the greens.
4. Incorporate Chicken: Evenly distribute the cooked chicken on top of the vegetables.
5. Mix Fresh Herbs: Sprinkle the chopped cilantro and sliced green onions over the salad for added freshness.
6. Toast Sesame Seeds: If using, lightly toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet until golden, and then add them to the salad.
7. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, fish sauce, honey, soy sauce, peanut butter, red pepper flakes, and minced garlic until well combined.
8. Dress the Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to combine all the flavors without bruising the greens.
9. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your fresh Thai Chicken Salad right away to savor the crunch and flavors.
