Ingredients

1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons very finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
3 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon sriracha Asian chili sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 (9 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup minced green onion (white and green parts)
1 lb napa cabbage, halved lengthwise, very thinly sliced crosswise
2 carrots, cut into matchstick-size strips (or shredded)
3 green onions, thinly sliced on a sharp diagonal (white and green parts)
2/3 cup lightly packed fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1 teaspoon white sesame seeds, toasted
1 teaspoon black sesame seed (optional)

Steps:

Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk soy sauce, ginger, canola oil, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, sriracha and salt to blend. Transfer 3 tablespoons of the marinade to a baking dish, add chicken and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes, turning after 15 minutes.
Dressing: Whisk vinegar and green onions into the remaining marinade. Set aside.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade, add to grill pan, and cook about 4 minutes per side or until chicken shows no sign of pink when pierced in the thickest part with the tip of a small sharp knife. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 15 minutes.
Cut chicken crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
For the Salad: In a large bowl, toss chicken, cabbage, carrots, green onions, cilantro and half of the almonds with enough dressing to coat lightly.
Mound salad in center of 4 plates. Re-whisk dressing and drizzle a little over and around salad. Sprinkle with the remaining almonds and sesame seeds.

I found the dressing to be a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise this salad was great! I'll definitely be making it again with a different dressing.

Made this salad for a potluck and it was a huge success! Everyone raved about the unique and delicious flavors. The dressing is especially good, with just the right amount of tang and sweetness. Will definitely be making this again.

This grilled ginger sesame chicken salad was an absolute delight! The flavors were perfectly balanced, with the sweetness of the honey, the tang of the ginger, and the nuttiness of the sesame seeds coming together beautifully. The chicken was cooked
