Creating Thai Chicken Salad is a breeze when you follow these easy steps:

1. Cook the Chicken: If you haven’t done so already, grill, roast, or boil the chicken until fully cooked. Allow it to cool, then shred or dice it into bite-sized pieces.
2. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and dry all salad greens and vegetables. Shred the carrots, slice the bell peppers and cucumbers, and halve the cherry tomatoes.
3. Combine the Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mixed salad greens, carrots, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, cilantro, and green onions. Toss gently to mix.
4. Make the Dressing: In a smaller bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and sesame oil until well combined.
5. Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss well to coat all ingredients evenly.
6. Add Peanuts: If using, sprinkle chopped peanuts over the salad for added crunch before serving.
7. Plate the Salad: Serve immediately, or refrigerate for a short time if you prefer a chilled salad.
