Instructions

Creating Chicken Cashew Crunch Salad is straightforward. Follow these steps to achieve salad perfection:

1. Prepare the Chicken: If using raw chicken, grill or pan-fry until cooked through. Season with salt and pepper. Once cooked, allow it to cool briefly before slicing.
2. Wash the Greens: Rinse the mixed salad greens under cold water and spin dry in a salad spinner. Place them in a large salad bowl.
3. Add the Chicken: Once cooled, add the sliced or shredded chicken on top of the greens.
4. Combine Vegetables: Add the diced red bell pepper, shredded carrot, chopped green onions, sliced cucumber, and halved cherry tomatoes to the bowl.
5. Incorporate Cashews: Sprinkle the roasted cashews on top for that delightful crunch.
6. Dress the Salad: Drizzle your chosen dressing over the entire salad. Begin with a smaller amount and adjust to your taste.
7. Toss Gently: Using salad tongs or utensils, carefully toss the salad until everything is evenly combined and coated with dressing.
8. Taste and Adjust: Give it a taste, then season with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.
9. Chill (Optional): If you prefer, refrigerate the salad for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
10. Serve: Enjoy immediately or store it in a sealed container in the refrigerator for later use.

With these steps, your Chicken Cashew Crunch Salad will be ready to serve and impress!
