How to Make Sarasota S Chinese Chicken Salad

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds. Set aside to allow flavors to meld (ideally overnight).
  2. Cut 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and saute until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
  4. While chicken cooks, prepare your vegetables: chop 2 cups of shredded carrots, 1 cup of shredded red cabbage, 1 cup of chopped celery, and 1/2 cup chopped green onions.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, prepared vegetables, and the prepared sesame dressing. Toss to coat evenly.
  6. Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with extra sesame seeds if desired.
