A flavorful and healthy salad featuring tender chicken and fresh veggies, all dressed in a spicy gochujang sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup mixed fresh veggies (bell peppers, cucumbers, carrots)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons gochujang
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients. Shred your chicken if it’s not already done. Chop your veggies into bite-sized pieces; keep the carrots julienned for more texture.
- In a bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, gochujang, honey (or maple syrup), and rice vinegar. Use a whisk to blend everything until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning with a pinch of salt and more honey if you prefer it sweeter.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken and mixed veggies. Pour in the dressing and give it a good toss.
- Lay out your lettuce leaves on a large platter or individually on plates. Spoon the chicken salad mixture generously into the leaves.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds over the salad for the finishing touch.
- Take a moment to admire your masterpiece. Dig in and enjoy!
