Asian Sesame with Chicken: The Full Breakdown
The Asian Sesame with Chicken salad is a light, crunchy, and incredibly flavorful option inspired by Eastern culinary traditions. We use crisp romaine lettuce topped with tender grilled chicken, fresh cilantro, and a blend of toasted almonds and sesame seeds. For that essential 'snap', we add crispy wonton strips.
The entire salad is drizzled with our Asian Sesame Vinaigrette, which is perfectly balanced between sweet, salty, and savory, making it one of our most refreshing and craveable menu items.
