Asian vegetable salad with chicken and homemade ginger sesame dressing is a great, easy-to-throw-together salad for those busy weeknights when you want something healthy and fresh for dinner!

When you have too much spinach that you don’t know what to do with, some leftover cooked chicken, and too many other veggies at your disposal – make this salad to utilize all those!

Combine the chicken, spinach, red bell peppers, carrots together with a flavorful, sweet and sour Asian dressing to turn this Asian salad into a restaurant-quality addictive meal!   This recipe is healthy, lean, easy-to-make, and it takes only 30 minutes to prepare, at most. Highly recommended!

I love the concept of a chicken salad because it is great for putting any leftover chicken to good use, or utilizing that bland tasting, over-cooked, over-boiled chicken that you don’t want to eat.

Any chicken will work here: boiled, fried, shredded, rotisserie chicken, etc.

All vegetables are finely chopped to ensure that you’re getting a little bit of everything with each bite.

The ginger sesame dressing is out of this world and is very easy to make from scratch if you have basic Asian ingredients in your pantry. When made from scratch, it’s better than anything bottled up!  I also love how bright and colorful the salad looks, especially after you apply the dressing!

    This is one of my favorites, I love your take on this dish and especially like your pictures. Adding ginger to the dressing was a great idea, I’m definitely going to try that! I posted a similar recipe on my blog, Tomato Boots, take a look and let me know what you think! http://bit.ly/1pG45UX
