Prepare the dressing by whisking together honey, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, olive oil, and ground ginger in a small bowl until emulsified. Set aside.

Step 2

Grill the chicken breasts on a medium-high heat grill until fully cooked, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from grill and allow to rest. Slice into thin strips.

Wash and pat dry the romaine lettuce and mixed spring greens. Chop into bite-sized pieces and arrange them in a large salad bowl or serving platter.

Step 4

Top the greens with diced mango, sliced red bell pepper, julienned carrot, cucumber slices, and green onions.

Step 5

Sprinkle the salad with crispy wonton strips, toasted sliced almonds, and toasted sesame seeds for added crunch.

Step 7

Drizzle the prepared dressing evenly over the salad or serve the dressing on the side.
