Whole recipe seems hard. I just want somthing easy to make. Also, where’s the avocado???
I get it, the recipe does look kind of complicated. But it’s actually not that hard once you get the hang of it! As for the avocado, maybe you could add some? It would taste great with this salad.
This recipe is easy peasy! Just follow the steps. And avocado ain’t in the recipe because it’s sesame chicken salad, not guacamole salad! 😄
I dunno, I didn’t really like the sauce. It was too salty for me.
My version included some avocado and it was bomb! Definitely will make it again.
Avocado sounds great! I never thought to add it to a salad like this. I’ll have to try it next time!
Umm, avocado? Isn’t that too creamy for a salad with ginger? I don’t know about that.
LOVED IT! Even my husband who hates salads liked it. Thank you!
Sounds fancy, but I don’t trust chicken recipes. They always come out dry for me.
I totally get it! Chicken can be tricky, but this marinade sounds like it could help keep it juicy. Give it a shot! 🤞
I used chicken thighs instead and it was juicy. Very filling! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Easy to make and the flavors blend really well! Will definitely make again.
YUMMY!!! Best salad I’ve had in a while. Perfect for summer barbecues. Thanks!
So glad you liked it! It really is a hit for summer gatherings!
Sounds fancy! Will be impressing my friends with this dish. 😁
Sesame oil? Isn’t that for like, Asian stir fry? Not chicken salad! 🤔
This is too complicated for me. Who has time to grill? Just put everything in a bowl and mix it.
Too much sesame oil in my opinion. It overpowered everything. Didn’t like it much.
Messed up on the marinade and it burned, now it’s like charcoal 🙁 ⭐
This salad was amazing! The chicken was so flavorful. Can’t believe how easy it was to make.
Ehh, just ok. I prefer a different type of salad dressing. Maybe I did something wrong.
I was skeptical about the combo of ginger and sesame, but this recipe really worked. I’ll be making it again!
I know, right? Ginger and sesame are like best friends! Glad you liked it!
Yummy! 😋 But is it healthy? I heard chicken is bad for you?!
This salad is amazing! The ginger really makes it pop!
Who knew grilled chicken could taste this good! I’m a believer now!
This recipe was a hit at my dinner party! So fresh and tasty, loved it!
Sounds good, but I’ve never been a fan of sesame oil. Can you use olive oil instead?
I’m so glad to hear that! This salad is one of my favorites too! The flavors are just perfect together.
Simple and healthy! Why is everyone saying it’s too hard? Just follow the steps!
I made this for my husband, he loved it. I used less honey because we’re trying to eat healthy.
I made this for a picnic and it was gone in minutes! Everyone loved it! 👍👍👍 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
That’s awesome to hear! I always love when a dish is a hit at gatherings. What else did you bring? 😊
Wow, this salad was a hit! The marinade is perfect, so flavorful! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I don’t know, seems like too many ingredients for a salad. Can’t just use ranch instead?
I’m glad you loved it! The marinade is the best part. Did you make any changes?
This salad is amazing! The sesame dressing really takes it to the next level. My family loved it!
Totally agree! That dressing is bomb! 🍴
I tried this and my kids wouldn’t eat it. Maybe too healthy?
I wasn’t sure about the ginger, but it actually worked well with the chicken. Surprised me! I’ll make it again.
I always thought ginger was for sweets, but this sounds tasty! I gotta try it with chicken now.
Where’s the chicken in the salad? I thought it was a soup. Disappointed.
Pretty good! But a little too much soy sauce for my taste. Will try less next time. ⭐⭐⭐
Delicious! But, I substituted grilled shrimp instead. Amazing too!!
Sounds delicious! I’ve never tried shrimp in a salad before. I’ll give it a shot next time.
Grilled shrimp? Huh, that’s kinda different. Not sure it would taste as good, chicken is the main part after all.
Yummy dish. My kids loved it! I added more veggies because we like crunch!
Yummy but the dressing was too strong for my taste. Next time, less soy sauce!
Not bad, but I feel like it needed something more. Maybe add some avocado?
Wasn’t sure if I was doing it right but it turned out good! A bit spicy tho!
Can I bake the chicken instead of grilling? Don’t have a grill.
Great salad, but I accidentally used balsamic instead of rice vinegar! Still tasted good.
Yum! The ginger and sesame combo is perfect! I added some chili flakes for kick.
Grilled chicken doesn’t belong in salad. Made it, and I’m still hungry after!
I dunno about mixing chicken with salad. Isn’t that weird? I’m skeptical. ⭐⭐
I used to think that too, but it’s actually really tasty! The flavors together are awesome. You should give it a try! ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Nah, it sounds like a weird combo. Just can’t see chicken in a salad, just not my thing. ⭐⭐
Don’t forget to squeeze some lemon on top, it makes it even better! 🍋
Totally agree! Lemon does add a nice zesty touch to any dish. 🍋 Can’t wait to try it!
Too much soy sauce for my taste, and I think it made the chicken tough. Not a fan.
I think the soy sauce is just fine! It adds a nice flavor to the chicken. Maybe try less next time, but I love it!
Nah, I like how this recipe has a lotta flavor. Chicken tough? Just grill it right!
So, do I grill the chicken breast with skin or without? I always mess that up 😅.
Quick question, can I use other meats instead of chicken? Like fish or beef?
Absolutely! You can use other meats like beef or fish, though the flavor will be a bit different. Just make sure to adjust the cooking times accordingly.
Easy to make and my kids ate it all! Will definitely make again!
This is easy peasy! My kids even ate it! Big win for me! 🌟⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐
