  • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, oil, and grainy mustard until well combined. Adjust the seasoning with salt and your choice of spices.

Assemble the Salad:

  • Toss the salad base with some of the dressing until everything is lightly coated.
  • Add the sliced chicken on top of the salad.
  • Drizzle the remaining dressing over the chicken.

Serve:

  • Garnish with additional herbs or nuts if desired. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.

This “Asian Salad” is a fantastic blend of tangy citrus flavors balanced with the umami depth of soy sauce, the sweetness of honey, and the rustic taste of grainy mustard. It’s a dish that promises to delight with every bite!
