A refreshing and vibrant chicken salad with a zesty dressing, perfect for a light meal or side dish.
Prepare the dressing by combining the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and lime juice in a small bowl. Whisk until well mixed.
Adjust the sweetness or tanginess of the dressing by adding more honey or lime juice to suit your taste.
Cook the chicken breasts until fully cooked, then let them cool and slice into thin strips.
Grilling the chicken adds a smoky flavor that enhances the salad.
Chop the tomatoes, cucumber, and scallions into bite-sized pieces.
Keep the vegetables uniform in size for a better presentation.
Combine the chicken, vegetables, mint, and basil in a large bowl.
Tear the herbs gently to release their aroma without bruising them.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat evenly.
Add the dressing gradually to avoid over-dressing the salad.
Top the salad with chopped peanuts and sliced jalapeño. Serve immediately.
Serve the salad chilled for a refreshing experience.
