Asian Mango Chicken Salad with Ginger Sesame Dressing

Asian Mango Chicken Salad with Ginger Sesame Dressing. April 22, 2021.
Spring is here, and so is the lettuce growing season! Our growing season is about a month behind schedule up here, so I am eagerly anticipating our own lettuce in a few more weeks. In the meantime, store-bought lettuce will do adequately. And while it is a little more costly, the living butter lettuce is a good purchase for us because it stays “growing and alive” for a bit, as opposed to wilting in 2-3 days. And it is butter lettuce that is being used for today’s highly flavorful Asian Mango Chicken Salad with Ginger Sesame Dressing. However, you can use any lettuce you like.

This salad is full of yummy flavors such as sweet mango and savory, grilled chicken which all pair excellently in this salad while crisp red pepper gives the salad a nice zing. Fried chow mein noodles and sliced almonds offer a fun crunch and Asian flair. This salad is bursting with flavor especially with the Ginger Sesame Dressing! It also would make a great lunch to pack for work or school. Keep reading below for recipe!
